Schooooooooool's Out for Summer!

Exams are over. Graduation was Friday. One of our students gave us gifts. She gave Justin Freudian Slip-pers and she gave me a Calculus T-shirt. She is so sweet. My Alg 2 students survived the exam... Well most of them. Unofficial results: over 80% of our students passes and we were above the county average. Yea! we are improving every year. We met out goal so we are getting dinner at Angus Barn from our Principal (the algebra 2 scores were very low 2 years ago, so he brought in a whole new team to try to bring them up).

Sarah's birthday was on Friday, just like Hannah and Mike. She and Phil are going to Alaska Thrusday to run. We will gather Wednesday for dinner before they go.

We will finish painting this week - our bedroom and trim in the sunroom. And then we will be doing a whole lot of nothing. Celebration for working pretty much non stop during the school year.

Exams

Love them and hate them.
It means the end of the semester and year. I get to spend 3 hours each day with a class, but they have to be quiet the WHOLE time. Especially the EOC, but I am only allowed to watch them for those 3 hours I can't get any other work done. Oh well, I only have about 10 students taking my Calculus exam (the other 19 were exempt) which means I can pretty much do anything while they are taking their exam Thursday as long as I am quiet.
Remember, you need to get a level 3 or 4 on the EOC for me to look good (and for you to pass).

Gone Fishin'

Proof there are decent sized fish in our lake:

A touch of color...

makes a world of difference!

Before

After

While Lydia and gang were enjoying fishing/falling in the lake, Justin and I painted the sun room. It's called "Fresh Lime."

Pics FINALLY!

Ok, so I finally took the pictures off my camera. Here are the new rooms.



This is the bedroom Carroll will stay in :)




And the bathroom she will use.
Well, maybe she will like this bathroom better. Our office is the same color, but I did not get pictures of that.


Guess I should have put the toilet seat down before taking the pic. Oh well. I know some of them are blurry - deal.

Painting

We are in the process of painting rooms in our house. So far we have complete the downstairs bathroom, upstairs bathroom and one of the bedrooms. The office needs another coat, and then we will work on our bedroom and the sun room. When we have completed all the rooms I will post pictures. A color other than tan in the house makes a lot of difference.
