First Presentations

This week we focused on Author's Purpose.

We used my Author's Purpose unit this week.
 I can't believe how well they understood this concept.

And now check out these cuties :)

Where Is Your Class?

I don't know what I clicked but all of my images disappeared.

Luckily Megan was able to help me with my blog images, but I'm too scared now to investigate and click and fix.  Alas, I'm not that tech savvy after all.

Anyways, I thought maybe you can use a freebie!

Sometimes we get busy and forget to count our little chickens after lunch, and before you know it, we're off to the library, and the intercom checks to see where your class is because little Suzy can't find you.  Not that it's ever happened to me ;)

Hope you can use it!

New Blog Design

How cute is my blog design?

Megan did an awesome job, of course :)

A new blog design is just what I needed.

And check me out by signature, my hubby's so talented :)

Five For Friday

Joining the fun with

 My kids graduated from high school.  I was good until my girl made her valedictorian speech, then the tears steadily flowed.  I am truly a blessed mama :)

 Enjoying my summer binge watching Scandal and a refreshing drink ;)

OMG I was so late to watch this show, I started watching it with my girl, it'll be nice to watch a show with her when she's away at college....sniff, sniff,... away :(

Finally able to do some relaxing activities with my cutie pie like puzzles.  My girl's pretty bright, but puzzles have always been challenging.  6 years old isn't too young to understand straight edges, corner pieces, like colors, is it?

I got so crazy busy the last week of school that I didn't get to share what some sweet mamas did for our class.  On the last day of school, they opened up Restaurante Salón 25 (Restaurant Room 25), complete with your choice of pancakes, eggs, juice, and kid activities while they waited for their food.  It was so popular that when I returned from recess, we had students from other classrooms enjoying some pancakes.  Gracias mamis :)

Stay tuned for my new blog design!

Oh, I can't wait to see what the talented Megan comes up with!  She has done some fantabulous blog redesigns!  And that's saying something because I don't tend to use words like fantabulous or fabulicious or anythingalous :)

Well, that's it amigos.

Hope you have a relaxing week ahead.

Science Fun

Catching up on some of our end of the year events.

This year we had someone from the Discovery Science Center come to our school and show us some fun science activities.  

With a swish and a swirl the liquid turned from clear to purple. 

The kiddos were so excited to see these experiments, but I knew the assembly was a hit when several kids proclaimed when they grew up they wanted to become scientists!

YAHOO it's summer!!!!

Last week I was so crazy busy, I'll catch up later, but for now I'm linking up with the fabulous Farley at 

I need to beef up on my Maxwell lyrics, I'm so excited I get to see him in concert at the end of the month.

I was so buy last week, that I probably should have utilized my bullet journal better, but I barely had time to breathe.  Pack everything, last day of school, graduation, and graduation party, hence my needing comment :)

Other than that, I plan to take it easy this summer.  If nothing else, I plan to enjoy each day :)

Hope the same for everyone else out in Bloggyland.

10 Things I Want To Do This Summer

I'm down to my last 3 days of school, summer's so close I can almost smell it :)

I do love a good linky, so thought I'd join the fun!

1.  Watch some really great shows, first up, finish season 3 of 

I'm a little late jumping on this train.  I kept seeing thumbs up on Instagram, gave it a try during Easter, and was elated Netflix finally got season 3!  I need me some of her purses :)

2.  Clean, organize, declutter some more!  I have this same table and bench, but this room is waaaay cleaner than mine, hence pinterest pix ;)  Did I mention I have 5 kids in our small but cozy home?  

3.  Spend more time here with my kids.

I love spending the day watching them play.  I always take a book, but never seem to read more than a couple of pages.

4.  Read more.  Like, Deanna, I love reading PD books.  But, I love getting lost in a good book.  Thinking about 

but I might just watch the show.   I don't know, I love a good romance, so I definitely need some suggestions.

5.  SCRAPBOOK!!!  My goal was to be caught up by the time my last baby graduated, but considering she's graduating in a couple of days and I'm on 2006, I don't think I'm going to make it.

I love scrappin!  I know it's old school and I'm slowly moving towards digital, but there's something about flipping pictures and reminiscing that I just love!

6.  Possibly get season passes to

my cutie pie went for the first time this spring and loved it!  And since Disneyland is no longer doing season passes, this is a great option!  Plus it's a lot cheaper :)

7.  Go to more museums. 

My cutie pie has definitely inherited her daddy's talent :)

8.  Learn to use my camera.

I love this pic I took from iPhone.  My friend is considering having private photography classes, think of how much better this would be.

9.  Have nice getaway with my hubby.  Hoping to go to Las Brisas in Laguna Beach. 

Loved our small wedding with those we love here 8 years ago summer :)

Must haves:  margarita, guacamole, and playa de sole!

10.  Spend as much time with my family as I can.

I'll have 4 kids in college and one in first grade.  Time seems to be flying by, seems like yesterday they were all shorter than me.  I am blessed with a wonderful family and I want to make the most of every day :)

Can't wait to see what everyone is planning.  Can't wait for suuuuuuuummmmer!
