Great Expectation Training was G-R-E-A-T!!

I spent the week learning new procedures, techniques, ideas, & celebrations to incorporate into our Great Expectations classroom. Yes boys & girls, the "GE Lady" was there! I learned SO much about brain based learning & ideas. Mrs. Blunt & I will incorporate the new ideas and techniques into our multiage families in the coming school year! I also went to "Lexicons, Literature, & More" where I learned many new and exciting things to add to the classroom lexicons we already do. There were many teachers from Greenwood that trained at GE this summer. Our multiage family KNOWS how great GE is and how it helps challenge our brains while giving us the tools to make positive choices. We will kick off the first day with UMOJO. What is that you ask? You will have to wait and see :)

Checking In!

Hope everyone is having a great summer. I have been busy lately. Mr. J and I totally redid Lauren's room while she was at pom camp. We also had a garage sale. I took this picture of us at Country Fever. It was so fun & the music was great. I saw Jazzy Jade & Youthful Yuliana last week. They are both enjoying their summer. Colossal Brain Cole rode by my house on his bike with his family. Kind Kimberly called me to check in. She is also having a great summer. A little birdy told me that Admirable Alexa is moving into my neighborhood next month. Mrs. Freise had her baby boy. I saw him this week & he is precious!!! I am going to Great Expectations with Mrs. Blunt next week. We are excited to learn new ideas to implement this fall. :)
