What a winter! I do not expect sympathy from my frozen relatives up north, but Birmingham had a real winter. Since I've lived here, we've never had months of below freezing temperatures. We even had a couple weeks where it never got out of the 30's. Pele and Tina are NOT winter dogs - especially Tina. I love winter clothes, but I am REALLY looking forward to the 60's this weekend. We did have one other nice weekend - when Boog left for his final Meridian to California drive. So I am officially the only southern belle again. I'll have to start wearing Easter egg colored outifts and hats. As you can tell by my lack of posts and pictures, my life is work work work. I must admit that the 2nd year of National Boards has been enlightening. The research and new instructional strategies that I am doing for the video entry have produced amazing results in my teaching. I even involved the Greening's school with a survey for John and Annie's classes. I am taking an online course to enhance my learning; the content and materials match my "new" strategies perfectly. I can honestly say that it is a good thing that I am in the 2nd year. However, I really do not want to do a 3rd... I have two weeks until spring break, when I will be doing major writing for NB. I have until tax day, but hope to have it pretty well done by the end of March. My voice treatment is March 18. We start standardized testing the day we return - great planning, Board of Ed...Greg's brother Brad and Co. visited last weekend. Unfortunately, I had a conference all day Saturday, but really enjoyed them. The boys are growing so quickly!
