July Confessions

Yikes! This summer is flying by and one of my favorite months is already coming to a close.  August means that I will start the school year soon and have a new group of middle school students. I am always happy to get back into the classroom, but I must admit that I'll miss the lazy days of summer.  At least I have a few more weeks of summer bliss and one more vacation coming up!  July was an awesome and a very busy month for me!  I can't complain though. I enjoyed every minute!
