All Summer in a Day

I found this wonderful artwork (Gail Veillette 2008) that depicts the main character in the story I read with my students today. It's a really great short story called All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury, and my students literally sat riveted in their seats for the duration of the reading. It was amazing! I had ESL students doing such deep thinking. I felt like super teacher...then I went to teach my 6th grade class and the world fell apart. Oh well, walks in the Park with Kate made it better!

What could POSSIBLY follow up Happy Virus?

Nothing, except my new school year bulliten board. It's purple. Just the way I like it!

Better Late Than Never!

I will now TRY to upload the pictures I take daily, and also work backwards through time! Keep a look out!


Here's my photo of the day:


as I was unpacking tonight (yes still...) from the move uptown, I came across this little sticky note pad that I bought in Korea. Yes, it does say Happy Virus. Several years later and I'm STILL lovin' those Koreans!
