Mustering Motivation

I apologize for being away from the blog so long!  It can be so easy to keep putting something off, even something as much fun as writing a blog!  I have been very busy at home and at work and the blog had to take the back burner for a few weeks.  After that, I just couldn't muster the motivation to get back into the habit of writing.  After all, I have so much to catch you up on!

I have not written since Valentine's Day!  We had a great party with many treats.  Since then we've had a pajama party to celebrate Read Across America Day, a very cold Spring Break (really a second Winter Break), and made so many other memories, I can't recount them all in one post.  The biggest thing that kept me from blogging was directing our school's very first play!  50 actors grades K-6 performed Peter Pan.  It was quite the experience (my first time directing)!  I never knew how much there was to think about and coordinate.  We made it smoothly to the production day and the students performed wonderfully!  The absolute best part was the comments the actors made about increased confidence and a desire to continue the drama club next year.  The praise from parents and community members was great too!  I'm so thankful to be in a school community that supports me in providing students with a well rounded education.

That said, I have a few more projects floating around my mind and a lot of teaching to do before state testing at the end of April!  I hope to be back on the blog regularly soon with some photos from my time away.  I look forward to catching up again soon!
