Last week WAG!

A new video-- I couldn't figure out how to add the Backstreet Boys song again and I tried for A LONG TIME.  It also still has the wonky top part! Oh well :) 

This one also has a few grownup only photos, I will make another one to share with families! Lots of sweet memories. 

 

Last year's video...

Y'all, it's been a year we will never forget! There is no one I would have rather been on this journey than you all. I hope many of you will be able to make it to Kathy's Tuesday to celebrate! As you. head into summer, I hope you truly can take a break, catch your breath, and fill your time with happiness. Heading into next year, I hope for a year of calm and kindness. This year felt like a roller coaster ride, as much as we might enjoy those rides there comes a time when it's time to get off. Maybe next year's ride will feel a little more like the Disney Storybook Canal, or at least the Jungle Cruise with only a few unexpected elephants around the corner. Love you all!

Main ResultIsn't it funny how time seems to slip away so fast?

Life is so short

A few months ago Kristina introduced me to Music, Travel, Love and I really like their acoustic covers of some of my favorite songs. You can find them on Spotify :). Last night this song came on while I was cooking dinner and I knew I wanted to include it this week in the WAG. Although it's more of a love song, I do think life feels so short sometimes! The first line of the song, "Isn't it funny how time seems to slip away so fast?" seemed appropriate! Although in many ways this year feels like it has lasted 1,000 years and moved at a snail's pace, it also seems to have flown by in a blink! I hope that as we wrap up these last 14 days together that your days are filled with joy! 

After all, life is SO short. 

Sending HUGE thanks to Inez, Jill, Nan, and Juli for all of your hard work this year in reimagining reading intervention in a million ways. You are all amazing! Intervention is all done for the year and we kick into assessment mode this week. Reach out to Inez or me with any questions about data. The spreadsheet is linked in the dates and details below. 

Speaking of the last days, the A to Z countdown continues! This week kicks off with P is for party and I hope you enjoy the Music Party. We will also be having our staff end of year party at Kathy's on the 8th starting at 3. Look for an invite to RSVP soon!

Who's Counting?

Thirty three days! I think that's right! Today is our 4th first day of school. We have done lots of hard things, and we have lots to celebrate. It will go fast! In this last leg before the finish line we will finish strong by holding hands and sticking together. Please ask for help. I had to ask for help this past week and ask for an extension in my masters classes. I just couldn't do it. It's hard to ask for help. We are here for you! And each other.

This Wednesday is Administrative Professionals Week, and we will celebrate Nicole & Kristina on Wednesday! Thank you so much for all you do for all of us! We would be lost without you! 

I know this is a busy week, so I will keep this short and sweet! I am working on compiling class lists and bus lists but the info is still trickling in. I have followed up specifically with our current DL kids because I know that shift can be the most impactful to you. I will keep you posted as I have more solid info. I know you need it!
