P52: Week 24 around the sun

This was another wet and exciting week. It actually went by so fast, I feel like it was yesterday that I was sitting here on the couch, writing this post.

This was the last full week of the school year! 1 1/2 days left for the kids and the week for us staff and we're on our way into the summer. Amazing. Really. What a great year! At our last staff meeting of the year we did a really special thing. We were each given a small canister and we told to choose stones from a basket and go to our fellow teachers and give them a blessing for the summer or coming year. It was just so touching and made me love where I work even more.

It was another soggy week - we've received close to 8 inches of rain so far this month! Good-bye drought! Something really comforting about the sound of rain on the tree leaves though...got to find a bright spot in the rain, right?

I also (!) finished my first book for my summer reading challenge and am already half-way through the next one! I'll share more about them later this month, so stay tuned! Other than that - normal life stuff: my June BirchBox game, I mailed my absentee ballot for the senate election, and renewed my lease. Busy, busy!

Highlight of the week: making one of my favorite summer dinners for the first time of the season: salmon grilled with peaches and red onions and a side of corn on the cob, yum-o!!

Favorite teaching moment: On Friday, I ate lunch with my third graders. We all sat around the conference table, eating, and finsihing out read-a-loud book. Such simple memories being made.

Random-osity: The new apple ear buds? Yeah, I am convinced they're labeled wrong. I need to put the left one in my right ear and vice versa otherwise I hear nothing! That or my ears are on the wrong sides of my head...

Also! I'm working on growing the blog's facebook page - won't you please join me over there as well? I post a sampling of the random things around me and would love to connect there (here) too!
