A very eventful week!

Happy 44th birthday to me!  It turned out to be a wonderful day!  They sang Happy Birthday to me at the staff meeting, a class of 5th graders made a sweet book about all the things they love about me (all filled with pics of superheroes), and my sweet family took me out to dinner.  It was perfect!  The only thing I wanted for my birthday was to get my hair cut, highlighted, styled and have my makeup done to do pictures.  I’ll share those in the next post.

We had our final battle of the books competition and party on Friday.  The final one was in front of the whole school in an assembly- 5th grade girls team vs a 6th grade boys team and the girls one.  For the year we had 177 kids participate and 43 teams.  It was the biggest one ever.  The party required 180 cupcakes, 30 pizzas, and almost 300 cookies.  It was a HUGE success!!!  I already have kids putting teams together and starting to read for next year!

It was also teacher appreciation week and I found this beauty on my desk from all of the students in the school.  Apparently I am “supermsart” and a “pickerofgoodbooks”!

We kicked off our summer reading program this week.  We already have over 5,000 minutes recorded and are ranked 109th across the world which is excellent!  I did a superhero kahoot with each class which was a huge success!!!

Happy Mothers Day to all the beautiful women in our lives!  We had a fun night out to dinner and then they let me pick my mothers day treats!

I wanted to share this awesome picture of my great-grandmother reading to my grandmother.  Isnt this beautiful?!

Also, the best gift in the world, besides the awesome video Marisa made for me that had me in stitches this morning, was being able to talk to my girls so far away!  I miss them!

If only every week could be this amazing!
