The Wait Is Over!! :)

Ok ok ok... I know I said that I was going to post Saturday and to be honest things were crazy... My flight from Florida came in late Friday night and then I had to turn around and head to San Antonio the very next day for my cousin's wedding.  I am totally exhausted right now, but I can sleep this weekend, right?

Astros Spring Training in Florida!!

My sister and I before my cousin's wedding in San Antonio.

On the Friday before spring break, I had my Reading classes perform their reader's theaters that they had been practicing over the last few weeks.  I must admit that I love grand productions, but the week before spring break is not the the time to do them.  I would have loved to have lots of props, costumes, and backdrops, but we just didn't have time for that.  The students actually got together to practice when they had finished their classwork.  We had begun studying poetry and drama over the last few weeks, so this was a perfect opportunity for them to get a closer look at drama.  They also worked on their fluency and working cooperatively with others. 

I had my homeroom class perform when they had me during class and my next period came in the be the audience and complete their participation guides.  I have an awesome group of teachers that I work with so of course the science teacher went over and explained the participation guide before they arrived in my class.  Here is what the participation guide looked like... If you would like a copy, just send me your email and I will be glad to send it to you.


Now onto the fun.... Picture Time!!  Here are some pictures from our fabulous performances...
