Hi Class,
I am so looking forward to being on summer break. 5 more days and I will be free! I am looking forward to my staycation next weekend to celebrate school being out. This summer I am not teaching summer school.  I am going to enjoy not having homework to give or do myself.  Michelle Roach

School is out for us and I am so happy to say I have completed 31 years of service to education.
Our 2018 graduation was awesome and 29 of our graduates also received their Associate degrees from a local Community College. I am taking a break from teaching summer school after so many years of doing so. I am hoping to travel and spend some quality time with my family.
Have a great summer from

Hi everyone! I turned my classroom keys in on Tuesday and then spent Wednesday and Thursday at Disneyland with my daughter and her best friend to celebrate their graduation. We had a wonderful time enjoying the park and each other. Now we are planning our camping trips and beach activities for the rest of the summer. I know from experience the time moves fast and August 1st will be here before I know it, so I've also planned some time to reflect on this past school year and plan for the next. Big changes are planned for our students next year and I want to be ready!

Hello everyone! Today was my last day of the 17-18 school year! I have spent the day packing up and thinking how lucky I am to be teaching amazing students at such a great school! Two years ago, God blessed me with the opportunity to come to a district that is very community-based and supportive. To top it off, my principal just informed me that I will be moving grades with my students, which makes me even happier (I had a great group this year). Although the summer break is needed and eagerly awaited, I am very excited to see what my next school year will bring!

Happy Friday from remote Cisco, TX-- 137 acres of coastal hay, cows, mesquite and pecan trees. I have been here since May 21st and will be heading back to California June 19th. Wyland leaves for the International Thespian Festival in Nebraska, Saturday, June 23rd (I can't believe my baby is a senior :/), and both boys' birthdays follow the week
after-- Garrett, June 26th, and Wy, July 2nd.  I'll attend two summer conferences, including my 8th AVID Summer Institute, and hope to catch up on some pleasure reading before heading back to work August 1st.  I see my students using Padlet to share book talks, AVID parking lot Q & A, Twitter Tuesday argumentative topics, or devising innovative uses to demonstrate learning themselves.  Conni Collins

I started using Padlet immediately after watching the tutorial. All levels of students that I work with (ages 13-18) love it!
We are in session until June 21st, and I am planning a Construction Themed party for this little one this weekend. Preparing hardhats, carpenter's belts, and ID tags for little 4 year olds=) Mari Takahashi

I hope everyone is looking forward to their summer break or possibly already are enjoying it. I've been out of school for two weeks now. Last weekend I was celebrating graduations for my 21-year-old niece and my 29-year-old sister. My niece received her Bachelor's Degree from UC Merced and my sister received her Master's Degree from Cal State University San Marcos. I told them to plan a getaway trip for my graduation next year! For the rest of my summer I plan to spend quality time with my two sons, Renzzo and Zennon. So far, we've been going to the park every day and I've started going on afternoon walks while they ride their bikes ahead of me.

We are in the home stretch at my school.  My students  are having a blast using Padlet.  I assigned this activity to teach my kids how to use Padlet and to give them an awesome memory wall for the end of the year.  Here is their work.  Kathleen Losi

Today I am thankful that my Mom is home and stable. I'm a bit worn out from the experience and looking forward to my last week of school, next week, and being home with my Mom for the summer.
