It's gone. Over. Another summer has come and gone. I've spent the last two days turning this:
And this:
Into this:
No Wonder Woman I'm tired!
As you can see I've turned a pole of teacher junk and an empty room into "The Hall of Justice" where all my superhero friends hang out. Superman himself greets you at the front door with any important messages you need for the week, Ironman looks over our Common Core vocab word wall, Captain A helps to remind us to follow the rules, Batman stands villi grant over our Outstanding Work, Spidey looks over our rotation board for math & reading, and finally the Green Lantern shines his light on our regular word wall.
Tomorrow I will start pulling materials: textbooks, student journals, and copies I need for the first week or so. I will also complete my "goodie bags" and place them on the desks. Because I am slightly crazy and everything must "coordinate" I splurged and ordered my Tervis Tumbler for school. Check this out:
Ain't it swell? It should be here before the 20th. I had a superman insulated cup with a straw last year, but...Bean grabbed it and dropped it, shattering it into at least three pieces, none of which could water any longer. Oh well, I still love him.
Well that's about it for me tonight. I think I will sit outside and enjoy what's left of the cloudy day and dream of home (I miss you Bainbridge Island!) while my darling child picks all the baby limes off of the lime tree.
Until I return, I remain yours,
Shauna
