Weekly Highlights

This week it was back to school, after a wonderful week long vacation.  I went out to Ohio to visit my brother and his family for a week.  It was so nice being with them, and having a chance to relax and recharge away from home.

The highlight of my week was that my projector was installed in my room over spring break.  My room was one of the last to have a projector installed and to get a document camera.  I have been on a quest for incorporating more technology in my classroom this year, so I was really excited to have it installed.  I had some help getting it set up, and I'm really looking forward to start using it, with my Class Dojo and other videos I've found online.

So far it's been a really fun weekend.  I had a nice relaxing morning meeting friends for coffee this morning.   Then this evening I met some local Arizona bloggers.  It was so nice being a part of it and meeting some of the faces behind the blogs that I've been reading.  I'm looking forward to the next meet upTomorrow I'm going to yoga outdoors, then meeting my Dad for coffee, and later on my Mom for the Scottish Gathering.  

I love this weekend, and especially this time of year in Arizona.  The weather is beautiful, the air smells great with the orange blossoms and there's so many fun things to do and all the tourists converge on Arizona.  I'm looking forward to a four day week ahead, my last day off until the end of the year.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

  1. I'm supposed to be getting a projector, smart board, and document camera over spring break, or at least some of that. We'll see what I find when I get back.

  3. Sounds like you're really taking full advantage of your well-earned break!
    I'm trying to integrate more technology into my classroom, too. Some of my students have shown ME some great things on the SMART Board, and my iPads are a hit with my math students!
    I look forward to hearing about some of the technology you bring to your room! :)
