27 more days of school until summer vacation! I don't think I've ever looked forward to vacation as much as I am this year.

We're having truck day on Friday and that's always fun. It's the day that local business' bring out their trucks for the kids to see. They tell us all about the truck and how it works. A couple of years ago they brought out the Limo that the President rides in when he's in Miami. Yes, I touched it! LOL!

I wanted to show you this super cute layout by Marlyn. I just love how she has shown off the pictures! That chef hat is too cute!



If you want some more inspiration check out Marlyn's blog.

You can also download the wordart she used on her layout here.


Now, I've got to get some sleep. Enjoy your day!

There are lots and lots of lizards that like to call my school home. When we go to the playground the lizards usually scurry away, but last week there was one lizard that refused to move. It was like he was taking a stand and claiming his territory. LOL!

Well, you know what Kindergartners are like~~~ they tormented that poor lizard. No matter how many times I told them to leave the poor guy alone, they just couldn't do it. They would move toward him then run screaming when he tried to run away.

On Friday, as soon as we got to the playground, the kids started screaming and pointing out the poor lizard again. I had to use my mean "teacher voice" and tell them to stay away from that lizard or we would all go back inside. Well, this time they decided to listen to me~ kind of! LOL!

I watched while the kids made a kind of semi-circle around it and then started yelling at the poor little guy. I couldn't stop laughing when I heard what they were yelling---"You don't go to this school. Now, go home so we can play!"

LOL! If only I had taken a camera outside with me!
