Monday, Monday

So...it's definitely a Monday.  I don't know why some of my kids seem to leave their brains at home Monday.  I have a little devil, I mean little darling, whom I had to constantly tell to "Go sit down!!" I really don't know why those 3 words are SOOO hard to understand?  It is infuriating! Does anyone else find this happens on Mondays?  What do YOU do about it?

And here is my other little pondering from the weekend. (this having NOTHING to do with work)  I'm sure some of you are able to do this, but I haven't.  Since entering this Bloggy world of AMAZING teachers, I have often wanted to meet you.  I saw once that some people from the South (I think) had a meet up and I was SO jealous!!  I wonder...how would one go about meeting fellow bloggy teachers?? I live in Los Angeles, but it seems like most of you all live on the east coast or midwest.  If anyone is in the west, give a shout out and let me know! Maybe there is a way we can meet one day.

Have a great week!  We have report cards due Friday.  Guess what I'll be doing tonight and the next few nights.  Thank goodness for the DVR!!

Tonya's Treats

Hi Everyone!
Yes, as usual, it's been forever since I've blogged. But this is a good one-I just stumbled upon a new blogger-Tonya's Treats.  She's having an amazing giveaway right now! Be sure to head over there. And don't forget to follow her, too! she's shooting for the 700 mark!

I'm Showing Off!

I know this is a little late, but since I did buy a few items on Monday, I thought I'd show you, so I could join the party, too!  I stumbled upon this idea of Lapbooks, which I had never seen until recently. Now, I can't get enough of them! So, this is what I got from Amber at Adventures of a Third Grade Teacher.            

I have 2 other lap books of Amber's that I am in the middle of using with my kids.  They are so great! All I can say is Thank you, Amber!! You rock!

Make sure you hop over to the Show off your purchases linky party at Blog Hoppin'!

Monkey bars

Has anyone heard of Monkey bars? It's an app you can download for free, but you buy the music. They are a "socially driven platform" for artists.  Anyway, the reason I bring this up is because Daughtry  has a song on there for $1.00 with all the proceeds going to Sandy Hook Elementary.  The song is "Gone too Soon".  Check it out: Monkeybars.net


Hope everyone is having as good a Christmas as you can!

       

Oh boy! I do kinda suck in the "keeping up with blog" department! I apologize! And now, it's not going to get much better in the next 2 weeks because I'm having surgery on Thursday. I don't know that I'll feel much like blogging. Has anyone ever had an ovarian cyst and had to have their ovary removed? That's what's happening. Anyway, I hope to be back and better at blogging in October!
Oh, one last thing, I was reading Elizabeth's blog Fun in Room 4B, and she got together with a bunch of bloggers in South Carolina! How much fun is that? I'm so jealous! But it got me thinking-are there any bloggers in Southern California? Wouldn't it be fun to get together some time? What do you think?

I Won an Award!!

Happy lazy days of summer, friends!  Yes, I've been MIA for a while, but that's because it's summer, and I am L.A.Z.Y!!  However, I had to acknowledge the fact that I won an award!!  I never thought that would happen!  

I must thank Penny, over at Superlative Science, for this coveted honor!  Be sure to check out her blog!    
         
                                                                                     
Now, I guess that last thing I must do is start some serious blog stalking so I can bestow this lovely award on some other wonderful people!
