Great Conference...Great Bike!
Go ahead! Click on the link above and check out the bikes!
I was surfing the web for a bit tonight after being inspired to visit some new sites I learned about at the tech conference. I found this GREAT bike! I really, really want one of these! Wouldn't this be great to have to peddle around town?
Also on the wish list is an iPad. Sure I wanted one before today, but then we got to use one! It was really cool. Lots of fun!

My Weekend!
We went to the Allegheny National Forest this weekend. It was really wonderful. I can't wait to share my photos of this moose with the class. He was HUGE!

Top Ten Favorite Teacher Supplies
I read a similiar post and thought this was a great idea! Here are my top 10 favorite teacher supplies.
10. Flair Pens by Papermate: Best pens ever.
9. Sentence Strips.
8. Mr. Sketch Smelly Markers: I treat myself to a new pack each year and recycle the old ones for the kids to use.
7. Google Docs.
6. Flickr: This is almost always my first stop when looking for ideas.
5. Scrapbook paper: Super Cheap and makes EVERYTHING look better.
4. Black bulletin board paper: It makes anchor charts and students work really POP.
3. A digital camera: I resolve to take many more pics this year!
2. Coffee.
1. My paper cutter: Thank you to my brother, Jeremy Hofmann, for buying me this when he got his first job out of college. I have used this for over 10 years now and highly recommend getting one for your room. This is small enough to keep out of the way, but will still cut through paper and heavy cardstock with ease.

Summer Update
We have been spending many days at the pool with family and friends. I picked up two new books in the past couple weeks. Regie Routman has always been a great inspiration to me. I am reading this:
and The Daily Five:
Enjoying both and taking lots of notes!
Two other exciting finds:
Meg, another 2nd grade teacher, shared with me resources that she had found in her room. We have copies of Word Matters and Phonics Lessons from Fountas and Pinnell!
I was also very excited to find a large rug, 9 x 12, at Busy Beaver (a local hardward store). Love taht I can support a small business with my school purchases!

Teacher TV
Yes, I am a sucker for a British accent...as many of us Yanks are. My love for the accent comes from the fact that I once had a large tumor removed by a doctor with a British accent, Dr. Suzanna Fox.
You can get your accent fix here
http://www.teachers.tv/
I haven't watched much of it...but love the idea.

The Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center
Over vacation my family visited The Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center . It is really wonderful place on Topsail Island that takes care of stranded and injured sea turtles. They also help protect sea turtle nesting sites.
The biggest surprise during our visit was runnning into Weslie Detwiler volunteering at the center! Weslie is a Senior at the high school and she is participating in the center's intership problem. I am DEFINATELY going to ask Weslie to come and speak to our class about her experiences. How cool will that be?!

American Legion Flag Fund
We've had a request for help!
The Columbiana Rotary asked if our class would like to decorate/create plastic containers for small change donations. The donations will go towards buying new flags that fly all summer long up and down Main St. The containers will be sitting out at different businesses around town! So...I said yes!, we would love to help!!!
