Hot, Hot, Hot!

As much of the United States is, Wisconsin is under the grip of the heat! Normally I don't mind the hot weather but it has gone on long enough! 
     So today, I spent the day at Target and the Dollar Store. Two stores that LOVE us teachers! I found lots of things to use this next year.

• New pointers!
• a beach ball (old one has a hole!)
• calendar - blank (old is getting tattered)
• 2 pair of Dr. Seuss socks - (Thing 1 and Thing 2)
• 2 cookie sheets for Playdoh
• 4 plastic shoe boxes for whatever
• Wall clings for the teachers at school (and myself!)
• Popcorn box for popcorn words
• more that I can remember now!

I spent the rest of the day sitting here on the computer reading everyone's awesome teaching blogs and wondering HOW do they do it? I need to find out!
My blogging led to many great ideas, thanks Heidisongs, and many others.

I also felt the pang of regret that I was unable to attend the "I Teach K!" conference last week! I was in Vegas in June at the Venetian for my little sister's wedding and I just couldn't afford another trip in less than a month! I plan on going next year!
