Five for Friday

Oh my... another week gone by... wow!

I was in the copy room...makin' the copies...when one of our 3rd grade teachers stopped me and said she had something for me! Me?...little-o-me? 

She found me later that day and said that she had been in a shop and found the cute mustache button and thought of me! Back in August, I had conducted an inservice for our staff in my room. She had seen my Mustaches in a cup. They were from Farley's mustache linky. Here's the post. 

So...8 months later, she saw the cute button and bought it for me. I have to admit, I got a bit teary. You see, her husband is very ill, but she thought of me. She is an amazing person. Very kind, loves teaching, and tech savvy!

Tuesday, was the district strings concert. We have an amazing string program. It starts in 4th grade. Any 4th grader that would like to be in the strings program can! It is part of our specials (p.e, art, music, strings) rotation. In place of music, they take strings. My daughter plays the violin!

What you see here is just a portion of our strings students! Each grade level takes turns playing. The yellow shirts are 4th grade. The final song is played by all grades...4th - 12th!

Goose bumps and tears! Amazing!

Our last Girls Excelling in Math and Science meeting! Awww!
One of the rotations was making lip  gloss! Sooooooo cool!


It is Fiesta time in San Antonio! Viva Fiesta! Thursday, Rey Feo "ugly king" the LXV came to visit our school. He is appointed Rey Feo due to the fact that he raised the most money for the education platform. I got a pin! Oh...guess I should say why I'm in the picture with Rey Feo...for Teacher of the Year recognition. :-)

During the last April Currently, I mentioned how crazy this month is and the start of May. 

My official invitation came in the mail! Exciting... yet scary!
