The Final Countdown...

Yesterday, I was so tickled to wake up and see that I sold my first product through TpT! This quickly reminded me that I have a job that I've been neglecting to prepare for (minus the countless hours I've spent on Pinterest this summer)! After looking at the school calendar, I realized I have two weeks before I return to school and three before I meet my new kiddos! Where in the world did the summer go?!? I find this difficult to comprehend and overwhelming! There is so much to do before the craziness of beginning another school year arrives.
I should probably upload all the pictures from last year and the summer break. I know there is some really good stuff I meant to blog about. Hopefully, I 'll be able to share of highlights over the next few days.
Thinking back, this past year was a crazy one for the record books! Cheers to time healing battle wounds!
This year's mantra:

Foreign Love Affair

Lots has been going down in Room 605 over the last few weeks! My favorite activity has been counting down the days until Spring Break! (I know you're wondering and the count is at 2)! Yay!

Lately, we have been studying the ancient cultures of Greece and Rome, but we took a day to learn about the countries of Malaysia, Senegal, Uganda, Brazil, and Morocco a few weeks ago.
We had the pleasure of hosting international English teachers at school for a day. These teachers are participants in the ILEP Program (International Leaders in Education Program) and are partnered with Clemson University. Go Tigers!

My kids were completed captivated! We learned about different foods, climates, holidays, and school requirements among other things. Before the day was over, my students were already asking when the international teachers would return! I find it amazing that we as humans can for lasting bonds in such a short amount of time! I'm so grateful my kids could get a small glimpse of this big world we live in. We had such a wonderful day!
