Back Home Again

The last week has been a blur.  Writing training, site planning, care team meetings, IB conference, IEP meetings, etc....  I feel like I will finally get back to teaching this week.  It was all fun, especially the IB conference, but I am "plum wore out".

At the International Baccalaureate Conference in Denver spanned Friday evening through Monday afternoon.  I was accompanied by eight co-workers. I learned about how to integrate IB practices into my classroom.  All of the IB verbage finally makes sense to me.  I also learned how fun my co-workers can be.  When I got home, Tom asked me if there was anyone that I didn't care for after spending all weekend with them.  I realized that no, there is not one person I don't like.  We really appreciate and value each other.  I know I have said it before, but I really love Antelope Trails Elementary. 

This week finds the Russell home busy as usual.  Becca is working on a "movie" for her IB Exposition project.  Laura has a role in her high school production of "The Crucible".  She is also busy trying to keep her head above water in her IB curriculum.  Tom has been sick with a stomach bug. He is about over it, but not back to normal just yet.

Yes, IB is a whole theme in our home.  I teach the IB Primary Years Program.  Becca is a student in the IB Middle Years Program and Laura is a Junior in the IB Diploma Years Program. 

It's Wednesday night and I am looking forward to a restful and healthy weekend.
