Not a fan! (The "Before")

School's on its way, so it's back to blogging for me! Hopefully, from here until May I'll be a faithful teacher blogger. Time will tell! Anyway, I was able to get my key today...YAY! However, my entire school is without air conditioning...BOO! I can't complain too much - I mean, our school is getting brand new ACs (which is very important in Texas where it is summer until November). The timing, however, isn't the best for all the hardworking teachers in my building. Since I'm an avid blog-stalker, I feel like I need to join in on the fun and post before and after pictures of my classroom. I don't know about anyone else, but at my school we have to pack up all the stuff in our classrooms so that the building can be thoroughly cleaned over the summer. That's why my classroom looks so empty sad at the moment. It will be a totally different place in the course of a week or so! Please note my plethora of fans (can you find all 4?!) that were begged and borrowed from my family so that I wouldn't die of a heat stroke.

Parkour!

One of the best parts of the year is our annual Faculty Follies celebrations on the very last day of school. At this program, it's the teachers' turn to be crazy and make the kids laugh. Some of my second grade friends and I decided to make a silly movie and this is what we came up with. We had lots of fun and I think the kiddos had fun watching! Hopefully, this will give you a laugh or two as well. Happy summer!
