Educents Kinder Summer Learning Fun

On Monday, May 5th, a dreaded event happened: my beloved MacBook Pro died. (Gasp.) Fortunately, everything had been saved the night before in our backup. Friends, if you do not have your computer set to back up automatically, do something about it! Work smart.

My precious husband ordered a new MacBook Air for me. (Hugs. Kisses.) Eight days later...(angels singing) it arrived from Shanghai, China.

Here are a few random things from my classroom in recent days. 

My class had enough paper scraps from our Eric Carle flower project to make an end-of-the-year gift for our principals.

We had several high school teachers working on their gifted endorsements observe to see how little smart kids learn. I put this math teacher to work!
