Weekly Summer Link Up - The Best Trip of My Life

I am linking up with Miss Monica at I Heart Grade 3 to share with YOU... the best trip of my life!

I have been on several amazing vacations. I have been to Europe, Cancun, and Hawaii to name a few. However, nothing compares to my trip the Bahamas. My boyfriend has to choose his vacation dates a year in advance. He had selected a the last week in June off and it was great because I was out of school. We didn't have anything planned for that week, we just knew it was summer. As it was getting closer we started discussing what we wanted to do. We talked about going to New York to visit his family or San Francisco to sightsee. One night he called me and told me about this cruise he found that was reasonably priced. He was sold and so was I.

We live in California, so we flew to Miami to board the ship.










The first night we had dinner and played a little BINGO. We know how to live it up, don't be jealous!

The next day we went to beautiful CocoCay. We went snorkeling had drinks on the white sandy beach and relaxed to the max. I still don't have any pictures from there since we bought a disposable waterproof camera. Who develops film these days...

Anywho...that night at dinner he told me he wanted to go to the rooftop bar on the top of the ship and have drinks and watch the waves. I agreed because who doesn't love a good cocktail while enjoying the sights.


Once we got to the bar my boyfriend said ,"Wow, this is perfect." Little did I know WHY it was perfect. We waited around for the waiter to come by and he never did. He said he was going to go look for him. When he came back he said that he couldn't find the waiter, but he was holding a ring box. He opened it and I'm pretty sure my mouth was open.

He said many romantic things (that I barely remember since I was in shock) and asked me to be his wife .
            
                            
BEST.DAY.EVER

Needless to say, this is why this very recent trip was the best trip of my life!

Here are a few other pictures of Nassau. We tried a fresh coconut drink (disgusting!), conch (calamari like) and native beer.

Dare to DREAM! Teachers Pay Teachers Sellers Challenge --- Week 2

So much truth in this quote!

This weeks Teachers Pay Teachers challenge is to dream big! Here are my dreams.

FUTURE: I want to save, save, save for the future. My boyfriend and I aren't engaged... yet. BUT I'd like to be able to save for when that day comes so we won't be in thousands of dollars in debt! You know the saying, first comes marriage... then comes the baby carriage!

TRAVEL: Possible honeymoon location? I'd die to go to Tahiti and stay on one of those huts on the beach... the ones you only see on TV. Looks like a great place to relax and enjoy.

HOME IMPROVEMENTS: Starting with the kitchen floors. The tile is dated, its cracked in several places and is missing grout. Not to mention it is white!! After I mop I need to mop again. It's a vicious cycle!

What are YOUR dreams?

Teachers Pay Teachers Sellers Challenge - Week 1

It's been a while since I have posted on here. Working full time and working on my masters has put a slight cramp in my free time. The Teachers Pay Teachers Conference has inspired me to start working on my store again. When I saw the Teachers Pay Teachers Seller Challenge I knew it was something that would inspire to start working in my store again. The week one challenge was to makeover an existing product. I chose my color the sight words worksheets. Before it was just plain boring! There wasn't a cover sheet. Everything was generic from the Publisher program. Now I revamped it with cute font and added a cover, credits page, and my blog website link. This has definitely been a learning curve for me. I am usually so tech savvy. I need to start creating my products in Powerpoint so it will easily transition from PC to Mac.
I hope y'all enjoy my revamped item!

I got a new computer, I got a new computer, hey hey hey!

My old lap top finally bit the dust. It lasted a solid 5 years. Hard to keep up with technology these days. I like the new lap top. It has a cool touch screen. However, I keep forgetting to use it. What I don't like is Windows 8! I wish the PC's wouldn't always try and copy the Macs. I don't need Apps on my laptop. Maybe I just need to give it some more time. It's a learning curve.







It also came with these Skull Candy headphones....

What do you think?

Anyone out there watch The Young and the Restless? I have been a loyal viewer for 16 years! My 6th grade ELA teacher watched it and talked about it from time to time.

Well, I thought about combining my two favorite things... teaching and The Young and the Restless. There you have it my friends, that is how The Young and the Educated was created!

Blooms Taxonomy


I am so excited to share my latest project. I have created Blooms Taxonomy Question Sticks. I attached the questions to tongue depressors. I choose a question stick and ask my students questions based on their level. This is a great way to meet the needs of all of your learners. Your challenge kids will do well with evaluation and synthesis questions. Students that are struggling will benefit from straightforward knowledge and comprehension questions

Check out my listing on Teachers Pay Teachers.


If you would like just the labels you can get them here


  ----->  There are 30 sticks/labels in all. <------
