I'm here to give you my thoughts on why you should quit using nonsense words in any classroom! We teach students yes even ...

Friday, August 14, 2015. 5 for Friday August 14, 2015. I haven't linked up with 5 for Friday since the beginning of July! Thinking my summer got a little cray cray! But it's been fun!

We stayed at Great Wolf Lodge and went to our second Sporting Kansas City game. The kids all got ears, Kaden's were birthday ears. Blake was mad about something.
