Yeah, I know it has been a while...

We have been very busy. As for school, I have been wrapped up in end-of-the-year activities, SOL reviews, and Odyssey of the Mind. Last night, the other third grade teachers and I hosted "Are You Smarter Than a Third Grader". The children competed in a Jeopardy style game against their parents as an SOL review. It was very fun, and actually The Roanoke Times did a front page article on it this morning. If you are interested in reading the article you can find it here on roanoke.com. Next week, the students will begin their SOL testing. As for Odyssey of the Mind, the team that Jennifer and I have been working with at my school advanced to the World level of competition. It will be held next week in Michigan. Luckily, there were no conflicts with the SOL schedule, so we will be in East Lansing next Wednesday through Memorial weekend. We are both looking forward to it. Wish us luck...The kids have all worked very hard. Jennifer has started her church softball season, and we are continuing to work very hard in our backyard. My plan is to spend my entire summer working around the house, the backyard, and on my building/shop. Until next time...
