I've just got to share the good stuff I read.

I love to read. I read every chance I get. If I read something really good, I want to share it with my friends and co-workers. I make copies of magazine articles, read aloud to my students, tell others about good books I'm reading, and keep a book with me at all times.

I love teaching and learning new things. I need a place to share some of the lessons and what my students and I learn. Since my teaching situation is different from everyone else's in my school, I would like to tell all of you in the blog-o-sphere about these great lessons.

Feel free to share what you are reading, teaching and learning with us in the comments.

It's blooming around here

The first day of spring was last week and plants are blooming around our yard.
While Em and the boys are skiing in New Hampshire, we are enjoying a windy March.

Yes, these aren't blooming yet. Dahlias are budding. We are happy they returned.

The hawthorn is showing off. Bees are buzzing. 

Close up of the hawthorn. The flowers almost make up for the wicked thorns.

After several years not blooming, these azaleas popped.

This is my favorite color.

The leaves are so dark. The flowers are barely visible.

The pansies are another favorite.
I took these so I can remember the flowers and to avoid working on a presentation.
This afternoon I will make myself buckle down and finish my work.
Still reading the Maisie books.
