We're Back to School and Busy is an Understatement!

It sure is easier to create/ post/ sell/ blog in the summer months.

School (and a whole lot of changes) make for a busy September!

We're launching Reader's Workshop and Writer's Workshop and teaching ourselves along the way.

We're teaching an updated Common Core version of enVision math--less a textbook. [Another challenge...] But we're keeping our heads above water and doing our best!

I hope to create more TPT and Teacher's Notebook items aligned to the Common Core in the coming weeks. I admire my fellow teacher bloggers who maintain, manage, and update their blogs and stores daily! Pipe dreams! :)

Beyond the walls of Room 16 I've...

+ climbed stadium stairs with the November project [a free fitness program in Boston]



+ attended a friend's wedding in Rhode Island Labor Day weekend

+ explored Wompatuck State Park in Hingham on bikes



+ registered for a 10K in October, a 5K on Thanksgiving, and a 5K in December 

+ admired the handiwork of the hubs and dad as they transformed our bathroom from this...


to this...



+ went apple picking in Stow



+ biked 44 miles in Northhampton with the hubs, a few good friends, and my younger sister 








A birthday cake is in the oven, and it's time to prep dinner...

Be back soon!
