[pamperedalf]

Watch Out Chicago...Here we come:

Today is Saturday, May 3, 2008.
Days until Wave 2: 72

Okay I am going to try and keep this going, if I miss a day feel free to add the count!

 

[pampermejolene]

YAY! I've been meaning to do this ever since I saw Ann's but I never actually got the calendar out to count the days! Thanks Amanda!

 

[pamperedalf]

Jolene I cheated, I took Ann's countdown from wave 3 and subtracted 3 days.I am too lazy to count all those days, don't tell my students.

 

[lockhartkitchen]

Thanks Amanda! I have the city of Chicago on my desktop at school. My class thinks it cool. I tell them that's my vacation when school gets out. I look at it several times a day. It keeps me focused.

Genius! We can tell who is the teacher and who just works in the same building as them! I never would have thought of that!

Here is my desktop background. I made it after a teleclass. I posted it on my myspace so everyone would see it. Now you guys can hold me accountable too!
It's mostly PC related, but not all. You can click on it to make it bigger (didn't want to make it HUGE, trying to not completely hi-jack the thread!)

We were hoping they'd go down too; but went ahead & got them since all the cheap ones are gone now...we did get round trip for $207, so not too bad.

[pampermejolene]

Thanks! I am so excited!!! I'm down to just TWO class periods! But they are spread out over 2 weeks!

I have no idea yet! hahah! I should be buying my tix in the next couple weeks. I'm hoping Sac but it might end up being any of the 3 in the Bay Area. I have friends down there willing to drive me the airport, I just don't want to have to drive back up here after conference. I have a feeling I'll be sleepy!

[lacychef]

Hehe

OK, in case Amanda doesn't get on here today:

today is Saturday May 17th (graduation day here)

days until conference: 58

 

[pamperedalf]

Thanks Lacy, my day has been chaotic. I woke up at 4 AM to a horse running in the cul de sac(SP). Thinking it was my neighbors horse (because they forget to lock their gate). So I started my day trying to catch a horse that wasn't mine in the dark. Luckily it was well trained, and I caught him not knowing who he belonged to. So I put him in our bottom field until a girl came looking for him, I guess he jumped a 6 foot fence hopefully he won't do it again.My son's b-day was a huge success, we bought a water slide for him. Good thing because it was a 102 today. Next week is suppose to cool off. Hope everyone had a great Saturday, we are down to less than 2 months away for conference. Wahoo!!

 

[lockhartkitchen]

Me TOO!!! Only 3 class days left and 16 days until I walk across the stage to get my bachelors!!! YIPPEE! :balloon:

I'm not out until June 12 with students! We got our new assignments for next year. My principal mixed the pot. Only one of my co-workers is staying in 4th grade. One is going to another school, one down to third grade, and I'm moving to 5th grade. I'm excited, since that is the grade I was hired for and taught 10+ years. I'm more excited for school to end, because it makes it closer to my screen saver Chicago!!!! I see it every day. Counting! Counting! Counting!

You're not bad! You've had a rough year. I'm going from 4th to 5th next year. I'm taking many of my 4th graders up with me. Some I'm telling principal no way! Me bad.

 

[pamperedalf]

Julie, I don't think your bad. I sometimes think when people read this who are not teachers, man I hope my child never runs across this teacher. Sometimes I wish that those parents who cause all the problems can switch roles with me. I do it with my students, why not the parents.
