Beautiful Day


I hope everyone is having a beautiful day whether you made it to school or not.  I hope everyone can come tomorrow.

Write about a memory on a beautiful day...
or write about the best destinations to travel to...
Where did you go?  Where do you want to go

We have school Monday and Tuesday

So one reason I applied for this job was I liked the idea of my work schedule matching my kids' school schedule.  It often doesn't work out that way. 

FCPS kids have Monday and Tuesday off.  We don't.  We have school as normal.  Please come as much as you can.  Of course you can't endanger your kids. 

This video is so awful, I rather like it.  Have fun!


Write about any school you attended a long time ago.

A million dreams


Do you have a favorite artist?  Do you like to create new recipes?   Do you like a style of  music or architecture design or clothing design?

What do you dream about creating?

I'm going to Love You




What are you going to do next time you have a chance to go out with someone you love?

(I'll probably take a walk around Lake Accotink with my husband.)

I Want to Hold Your Hand!


"Wanna" is texting/youtube-lyric spelling for "want to."  Never write "wanna" at work or on a college application.
