"It's the FINAL countdown!" (2,822)

We are done testing!  Hip-Hip Hooray!  :)  Now we're on the final countdown w/ 7 1/2 days of school left.  We have a couple of math tests left to take & then we are free to have fun, fun, fun!  :)
This was Teacher Appreciation Week & man oh man did I feel special!!!  :)  The PTSA & our principals provided us w/ breakfast, lunch, & treats every day this week.  :)
Shawn cleaned his truck out & he let me have a CD game for our treasure box.  :)  
We got 11 love notes this week!  (Like I said last wk, I think the kids are realizing that our time together is almost over.  I also think they have been a bit bored & being creative has been a nice outlet for them during testing.)
It's the end of the year & we've been getting our end of the year gifts together.  We've prepped Mr. Preston & all of our classroom helper's gifts to give out next week.  :)
I got gifts twice from my Secret Pal this week-they gave me a clue that they were testing too but I haven't figured out who it is yet.  :)  
Mady let us borrow 4 of her movies this week so we could "chill" every afternoon w/ a brain break after testing.  
Taygen wrote us a thank-you card & a motivational song for testing.  :)   She also made a card for the class.  :)
One of our PTSA mommies gave me a pack of ice cream cones on our ice cream day so I could bring it home for Mady to make ice cream cones.  Mady-was SUPER EXCITED about that!  ;)
I gave Mrs. Joiner a coupon & brought her a D. Coke one day when she forgot hers.  :)
I got so many sweet notes, cards & presents from my sweet, sweet families this week.  :)  Like I said, I have felt VERY LOVED!  Hannah & her family got me an engraved bookmark.  :)  Makayla got me a BEAUTIFUL bouquet of flowers.  :)  Mrs. Brown brought me a StarBuck's card.  :)  I got a bag full of fun school supplies, D. Coke & candy from Taygen.  :)  I got a gift card for Target from Miles.  :)  I got a gift box, cup, book & card from Nevaeh & a card from Dominic & Ioana this week.  Everyone was SO INCREDIBLY SWEET to me this week!  :) 
Nevaeh, De'Marius & Taygen brought in Pop Tabs & Box Tops this week.  :)
We made some stain glass flowers & a note for our final package to Miss Ellyn in Africa.  :)  We also sent a Get Well card to a friend in 5th grade.  
I'm on the Community Outreach Committee @ school & we tried to get our Partners in Education to donate some treats to our teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week.  We got a free small Marco's pizza-it was so big I got to share it with Mrs. Smith for lunch today.  It was super duper yummy!  I also had the privilege of getting a free salad coupon from Wendy's.  I sent Ms. Truett a thank-you card for the company Thursday.  :)  It was SO NICE of them to do that for us-I'm going to use mine for field day on Monday.  :)  
Mady made me the most beautiful potted plant for Mother's Day!  It was such a nice surprise when I got home from work yesterday!  :)
The PTSA gave the kiddos candy for a treat to end their testing week.  I gave them some gold fish that said, "Hip Hip Hooray!  You're oFISHally done w/ testing."  We also shared Popsicles w/ Mr. Vickers' class today as an end to our testing celebration for both of us.  Mr. Vickers gave me two Popsicles so I didn't have to buy extra for my kids for Field Day-that was SO THOUGHTFUL of him!  :)
Finally, we did our regular recycling for K & 1st grades.
Current Total =2,822
