Hello From Korea, Books, and a New Resource

Hello everyone. It has been a few days since I blogged. Here are some pictures from Korea, some professional books I hope to read, and a new product.

This ice rink is in the airport at Incheon.

Here is my son's house that he built. He wanted a Canadian style home.

My grandsons are doing excercises with me.

This is the international school that my son works at. He was instrumental in getting it started.

This is ukulele group from the summer camp. My grandson in in the front row.

It was so hot here that the class took a break and went to the lake to play and cool off.

I thought that I would be able to blog regularly and work on some new projects while on vacation, but with the humidity, I have been so tired and it has been hard to work later in the day.
Last week, in the mornings, I went to school and helped my son with his ukulele class. Then after walking home and eating lunch, I needed a short nap before returning to the school to pick up my grandson. For the next couple of hours we would do things together while waiting for everyone else to come home. Then it was suppertime, story time, bath time, and bedtime. By then I had so many blog posts, Facebook posts and emails to catch up on that I had little energy left to do anything else.

I did manage to start working on one of the 4 books that I am hoping to read this summer. The first on my list is Whole Brain Teaching. I am really excited about this and I hope to implement it in my classroom this fall. The toughest part for me will be shortening up my instructions and teaching into small enough chunks. It will be a good way to discipline myself though.


Here are some of the other books on my reading list that I have added to my ipad. I got the Kindle versions so that I could read them anywhere.

Check out my new mini-me from Crystal Fox (Library Fox).
I am so excited to have this. It was my present to myself. I can hardly wait to start adding it to some of my notes and activities.

Here is a new set of task cards that I have been working on. It has 3 different themes to choose from. It is part of an optimism unit that I am working on. I will be adding it to my TpT store.

Thanks for stopping by.
