Memorial Day

Today is a day that I will remember forever. Three years ago at 1:25 AM, my darling son was born. He was born on Bob Hope's 100th birthday. What a day!! It was the best day of my life. I wouldn't change that day for anything.

Today is also a day that we should remember all those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country and our freedoms. Thank a service member today for serving our country proudly.

Have an AWESOME day!

School's out!!!

School is out for the summer. I have nothing really planned for this summer and of course I have a ton do to around the house. LOL

It's hot already here in LA and I can't take it. Thank God for air conditioners!!!

Well, that's it for now.

TTFN

And the results are in........

Well today was the day. The best day and worst day of my students' lives. They found out whether or not they were heading onto 5th grade or a crappy summer of SUMMER SCHOOL!!!!!.... Well, I have some good news and bad news.

The bad news, 9 students out of 57 on our 3 teacher team did not pass the LEAP.

Now for the somewhat good news:
That's an 84% pass rate. You did read that correctly. 84%!!!! Out of those 9 only 4 were regular education students. So, if we take the 10 Special Ed students out of our team (47) and subtract those 4. We have a pass rate of 91.5%.

Now for the AWESOME news.... 100% on my homeroom passed the TEST. I was the only teacher to have that done!!!!! I am so pumped!!!

Today was even made better by my lil man, who came rushing up to me when I came home saying "Happy Mother's Day, Mommy!!" That just put a huge smile on my face. I also received a balloon and cards from him. His daycare provider is awesome. Now, to get her something.

I just wanted to share my bad, good, and awesome news.

Git er Done!!

I received this from a friend. I loved it.... My hubby is from Kentucky and with us living in Louisiana, I could see this happening... ROFL!!


The Pentagon announced today the formation of a new 500-man elite fighting unit called the United States Redneck Special Forces. These Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas boys have been dropped off into Iraq and have been given only the following facts about terrorists:
1. The season opened today.
2. There is no limit.
3. They taste just like chicken.
4. They don't like beer, pickups, country music or Jesus.
5. They are DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for the death of Dale Earnhardt.
6. Their favorite movie is "BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN."

We expect the problem in Iraq to be over by Friday.

Let's do it!!

14 days and a wake up!!

Well, the count down is on! We now have 14 days and a wake up before the 2005-2006 school year will be in the books. The kids have summer fever and their grades are showing it. I never saw grades drop like these have this year. It's crazy and parents are going to have fits tomorrow when they see their students' progress reports.

On other news, the heat hasn't totally been turned up here in LA. We are seeing April showers in May. I guess mother nature didn't get the memo that it's now MAY!! I am starting a weight loss program here as soon as school is out. Dieting and exercise galore (something that I can't really do while teaching right now).

**2200 miles in 4 days** Crazy I tell ya!

TTFN,
Tiggy and family!
