...Keep Calm & Go to Disneyland

60! 

That's the magic number! In just two months from today I will be bound for the Happiest Place on Earth! 

Whoooooo Hoooooo!

Donations ANYone?

I thought it was about time to plug my Donor's Choose site again! My last project went unfunded. Yes, it's sad. I only got $10 in donations for that project. I'm not complaining TOO badly because I have had 3 projects funded in the past 9 months! I have two more currently up for grabs. I am beginning to think of next school year (in fact, I have spent numerous hours on this Saturday afternoon prepping and planning for first grade next year!) and figuring out what I need to enhance my classroom environment. 

Here is the link to my Donor's Choose site . . .

One project has only 33 days left! The second project has been submitted and should be up and running within the next few days, so keep checking!  

Project #1: My TINY carpet for story and calendar time can only fit 10-12 kids. They always seem to bicker about who gets to sit on the carpet. I am hoping praying this will be funded in the next month, so I can have this by September!

Project #2: This would be my new mailbox/communication center. My homemade mailboxes (that cost me nearly $50!) started falling apart last December. I found this and I just love it! It's sturdy and will hold up year after year, not to mention it is great for students delivering notes and messages to me, I can hang the lunch menu etc. I want this soooooooooooooo badly!

Where Is My Teacher?

I took the day off of work on Friday because I have to use up some personal days before the end of the school year, so I don't lose them! I really have a hard time taking days off. Frankly, it is much easier to just be at work rather than plan to be gone. I found a cute little writing prompt on Pinterest (of course!) called "Where is my teacher?" so I left it for them to do on Friday while I was gone. They seriously came up with the most clever responses... I just had to share! 

                Where Is My Teacher?

I think Miss Schiltz went to California. 

I think she is sick. 

I think she went to the party store to buy party supplies.

I think Miss Schiltz went to hang out with her sister at the mall. 

I think she is at the beach looking at the sunset.

I think she is sick and I hope that she is not really sick. 

I think Miss Schiltz is hiding.

I think she is sick and she is mountain climbing and she is seeing her sister and she is swimming in Hawaii where she is having her birthday party.

I think Miss Schiltz went to Payless to shop for shoes.

I think Miss Schiltz is sick.

I think Miss Schiltz is spying. 

I think she is surfing in Hawaii.

I think Miss Schiltz is sick or she is with her sister.

I think Miss Schiltz is scubadiving for the Titanic. 

 I think Miss Schiltz is sick.

I think she is in London shopping for party supplies.

I think Miss Schiltz is at her house taking care of her kids.

I think Miss Schiltz is shopping for stuff for our Warm Fuzzy Party or our Counting Party or our Links Party. 

Seriously, aren't they the absolute cutest?! I guess I better get shopping for those 3 parties they have almost earned!  

 

78 Daysssssssssss Away!

Updated Concert Blog!

Concerts

This was the first concert that I remember. It's Carmen. Yes, the Christian singer. It was at the Tacoma Dome and the place was ROCKIN'. Like I said, no hatin'.

Jamie O'Neal at the Puyallup Fair. What ever happened to her?!

Mmmmm. Mmmmm. Mmmmm. Yup, loved this show. Again, at the Puyallup Fair.

Up until last summer, Rascal Flatts was by FAR the best concert I had seen. Once again, it was at the Puyallup Fair. 

BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE! This was the best concert I had ever seen and I don't think it will ever be beat!!

I also saw NKOTB with BSB at the Tacoma Dome and the show was ah-amazinggggg!  
AND, I get to see them AGAIN this July!! 

I loved seeing Britney at the Rose Garden in June of 2011. Very fun show!! 

I saw Nicki the same night I saw Britney. She was awesome.

I have seen Toby Keith not once, but TWICE! Both times I saw him at the Sleep Country Amphitheater in Ridgefield. Always a good show. I would probably even go again! 

I saw Trace in the summer of 2010 and what. a. show!! He is so tall... like 6'7" I believe. Love, love, loved this show!

Eric Church came with Toby Keith last summer. It was a pretty good show!

I'm not going to lie. . . she did not put on a great show. I was pretty close to the stage too. Not feeling it.

Matt Nathanson was in Kent with Kelly Clarkson. It was an okay show. Not exactly my kind of music, but still fun.

Kelly Clarkson is amazing. Seriously, this girl can BLOW! Her live vocals are just mind-blowing! 
I get to see her again this September! Whooo Hooooo!

I saw Matthew Morrison last summer and he puts on a great show!!! It was just him, no Glee and I loved it!

September 22, 2012! It's going to be freaking awesome!

 Aaron Carter. Yup, this happen - April 2013.


Here's what's to come in the summer of 2013 . . .

Can't. Freaking. Wait!
