Abundant Sunshine

Things are so sunny and wonderful around here. I am keeping busy with the abundance of activities available, plus I have amazing friends. I love this place. I am staying here for the summer, and that has me excited. Although I am making a two week trip to Edmonton and Winnipeg around the end of June, also exciting.

Four weeks of school to go - 16 teaching days! I have a whole class of little buggers and they drive me crazy. They are pretty hilarious though. Especially a couple of them.
Some classroom quotes for your entertainment.
