Time to link up with Doodle Bugs Teaching!
I am full swing into summer now (I can't believe it has been almost a whole month!), but I am definitely keeping busy working on things for next year. I went into my classroom this weekend, but it wasn't quite ready for me yet.
The tables and everything else are pushed against the wall ready for the janitors to clean the carpets. I did manage to pull out my laminator and got some laminating done. Luke also kept busy with math manipulatives. He put his uniform on to go to school today (he cracks me up)!
He is going to be in my class this year and I am both excited and nervous about that. Have you ever had your own child in your class? Any tips or advice?
Tyler has also been doing his share of out of school work reading up a storm. It makes me chuckle because I asked him last week what he was reading and he said, "Nothing, reading is boring!' I told him that he just hadn't found the right book yet, but reading is exciting, and when he finds the right book he will love it too. I truly believe every person is a reader waiting to find the right book to hook them. Anyway, we went to Barnes and Noble for me and he saw a poster of a baseball book on the windows as we made our way in. We looked for it and found it and he has been reading ever since. Point made!
Speaking of baseball, my husband took our two baseball fans, Tyler and Luke to the A's game with Luke's baseball coach. They had a blast!

Bet you can't tell he's a fan, can you?
Tyler was ready to catch any foul balls.
Yesterday we spent a relaxing day at Donner Lake. This was my view for most of the day.
We rented paddle boats for part of the morning.
Hubby and the boys out on the lake. Paddle boats are quite the workout let me tell you!
But, we had a blast and the views were amazing!
Luke even found a friend - a little frog. He asked if he could keep him, but I told him "NO!"
I am such a mean mom!
While we were at the lake I got a bit of reading in as well getting ready for my next book study on The Together Teacher. If you haven't entered to win a copy yet, head over here.
Have a great weekend!
Looks like you had a fun week. We love going to the lake as well. I couldn't agree with you more that everyone just needs to find the right book to spark their interest. When my oldest was in 2nd grade it was like pulling teeth to get him to do his 20 min of required reading nightly. Thankfully in 3rd grade his teacher turned him onto a genre of books that he feel in love with. For the next several years we couldn't get the kid to stop reading. So glad your little guy finally found something he likes.
