My new computer is here

 

Bob ordered me a new computer back in November, as my old one was going bad.  The new CLX computer got sent to the wrong person in another state.  It has taken awhile for it to be tracked down, sent back to the factory to make sure that it is still in new factory condition, and then sent here.  It finally came on Saturday.  I spent the weekend setting it up and configuring it the way I wanted it.  Yes!  I can do my work, watch videos, and play a few games.

School's Returning after Winter Break Student Resolutions

Today the children came back to school following winter break.  Time to get back into a routine and to start a New Year.  This morning in our morning meeting, we took time to share goals or resolutions for next year.  I love listening to them.

Door Decor

 Door Decor

I had a boat anchor on my classroom door forever. It fell off and broke, just before Christmas break. One of my students surprised me with this earlier this week because I "needed" something "beachy" on my door. It was so thoughtful.

MoJo volunteered to be my substitute Teacher's assistant today as it was an eLearning day. His productivity was low. However, he was supportive and stayed by myside all day.

Happiness is being wrapped up in a blanket on a cold winter day, even Toby agrees.
