I’m Creating A New Blog

For my students to follow our path of a new team to the majorly successful team we will be. I wish I had been more into blogging last school year to actual blog our very beginnings, but I’m looking forward to doing it now!  If you are interested, check it out at www.chsacademics.com!  I’m excited.  I’ve only found one owl template (well one free one) but it will do for now.

What brought this on? Well it started with a invitation to try out Qlubb.  I was anxious to see how this worked as it sounded really useful for our school. What is Qlubb? It’s a free easy to use calendar for groups.  I thought it would work great for all of us that sponsor extra events at our school to post competitions, practices, meetings, etc to decrease the double booking where students are having to miss something. I hate when they are put in thsoe situations.

I was immediately impressed with how user-friendly it was. I was able to use it instinctivly without any problem. I shared it with a few students to test it out, and they too were able to navigate and use it immediately.

If you are looking for a way to organize a group – a sports group, a neighborhood, a mom’s group – anything you can think of, check out Qlubb. Did I mention it’s free?

Early Day!!!

Yea!!  Today we get out of school in just 20 short minutes!! Yep!   11:50!!  I’m so excited and so glad.  My to do list is pretty long so I’m very anxious to get everything done.  In addition the Cheetah Girl concert is tomorrow so I’m very glad that I can get a lot done BEFORE the concert and won’t have so much to do Sunday!  

Why are we out? Nope, it’s not a holiday.  Nope, it’s not the end of a grading period!  We are out because of a local fair!!  How awesome is that?  We won’t be hitting the fair this year since we’re going to see the Cheetah Girls, but we’ll still be enjoying our time off.  We are starting by heading over to the neighboring town to find a GOOD lunch!!

Catching Up

Whew!  It’s taken three days, but I think I’m catching up slightly with my school “to dos.”  I’m excited as that means I can get back to my blog.  I’ve had to let things go somewhat the last couple days.  Missed posting my Monday’s Muse Meme and not sure if I’ll get up a Wordless Wednesday one either.  :(  But do look for some great posts I’ve got in mind and ready to tell you about over the next couple days as I get back in the swing of things.

Two More Days of Relaxation

Just got a phone call and we’ll be off for two more days.  Apparently we still have water issues and they are predicting that it will take the weekend to clear up the water so they went ahead and made the call that we won’t have school until Monday. We got off last Friday and the entire week this week.  I would never wish for the destruction that Ike caused – not even on my worst enemy, but I am happy to be enjoying this week off. I’ve gotten so much work done around the house this week and done some research for this blog.  It’s been nice.  I could stand going three weeks and getting a week off.  I think we ought to just convert to this schedule.  :)
