Hi Everybody,
In case you haven't heard already, I am expecting another baby! Chris, Somerset and I are thrilled. We will welcome the addition in late January, so I'll take a maternity leave and then be back by May. I am busy this summer with working on our driveway of our eventual new house, and Somerset and I have been going to museums, playgrounds, to the beach, etc. I am taking a Math course in August and then I'll be getting the room spruced up for fifth graders! See you soon!

Service Learning Project!
We have made our goal - we raised enough money from the sale of the water bottles to buy EVERY FAMILY at UES a reusable shopping bag. What fun we had researching facts, organizing bags and delivering them to the delighted students. Go Team!

Welcome back!
What a restful vacation! I am rejuvenated from a week of cooking with my daughter, going to the local libraries, getting together with friends and catching up on lost sleep! The classroom was deep cleaned and looks great and we have a new hermit crab. Red was Somerset's pet but we lost interest so he'll live here now. He could use a friend so if anyone is at Petsmart pick up another hermit crab for us!
