heaven in a resealable cookie package

I have found the perfect combination: peanut butter creme filled Oreos. An even more lethal combination? Peanut butter creme filled Oreos crumpled up and mixed in with vanilla ice cream.

I'll give you a minute to wipe the drool off of your keyboard.

Life is beginning to slow down, and at the same time pick right back up again in a different way. The TWS is finished. I just have to get my examples of student work put together, print if off again after some proofreading, make a copy of it (AKA kill a lot of trees).

At this point I am a lot more focused on planning (which is a good thing). Trying to figure out some fun activities with the Lewis and Clark/Expansion Unit. Nothing is fun to 8th graders, though, if it means they have to learn. Imagine that.

"Was Napoleon the guy that sold the Louisiana Purchase to the U.S?"

"Do you see this strange looking figure on your desk in front of you? It's called a book. And it's MAGIC. Do you know why it's magic? If you open it and read it, it will tell you ALL of the answers!"

"Do you mean we have to actually read?"

mmmhhmmmm

Adolescence. It's a beautiful thing.
