Crazy Days

I hope you are keeping cool in this heat! I have been busy teaching fitness classes at the complex. This is the workout we did last night. I sure am glad it wasn't tonight!!  I went to school today to work with Ms. Ballou, Mrs. H., and Mrs. Howrigan. There is so much work being done to the school!!

 

Go Fairfield!

Way to go Fairfield girls!!!!!!! 
 

Relaxing

Relaxing by my neighbor's pool. Thankfully, I don't have much to write about. I guess that means I am finally relaxing. 

 

Lunch Date

Today I had lunch with Mrs. Garceau and Lauren-Kate. We ate outside at Twiggs. I wanted to take a picture of the 3 of us but forgot. After, we went to the store called Vintage Vibe. It's on Main Street right by the old Post Office building. It has very cool things in it. It was a beautiful afternoon!

Yoga

On Tuesday nights I teach yoga. I love doing yoga with the kids! They will learn the tree pose, Sun Salutations, and deep yoga breathing through the nose. Here is a picture of me doing an arm balance pose. The kids will not be doing this!!

 

Storm!

Wow! What an intense storm we just had! At least it moved quickly. Thanks to all of you who responded to Remind. With Remind, the class blog, and group/single emails we should have a great way of staying connected.

Remind

This year, I am adding a new way to communicate with you called Remind. It is an app that lets me share news with you via text message without any users knowing our cell numbers.  Lots of the high school teachers use it with their students. Please use the following link to join.

Interesting Article

I just read this article and found it supported many of my beliefs and practices. An interesting point is the taking away recess as punishment. I can't say that recess will never be taken away, but I am all for kids getting outside for recess. I often have them eat lunch with me to go over any missed work and then send them out for recess. 

What Doesn't Work

Spinning!!

I usually work out at 5:00 a.m, but today I taught a step class and this evening a spinning class.   I was lucky enough to relax by my friend's pool too.  I hope you are all having luck dealing with this heat!!

Okay, another one!

I should probably read the whole paper before posting!! 

One More!

 

Champs!!!!!!

 CONGRATULATIONS GIRLS AND COACHES!!!!!!! So proud of your hard work and dedication!! 

Boot Camp

I am subbing for Mrs. Malboeuf's boot camp tomorrow morning. Wish me luck...this is the plan! 

Organized!

Today I organized my closet. I know, not the most exciting day, but at least I was in the air conditioned room! I love organization! Next year we will work a lot on staying organized. I hope you are enjoying the warm weather. Hopefully, this weekend won't turn out as bad as they predict. 

Vacation

Well, I finished my class so I am on vacation for a couple of weeks until I have some more school related things to do. This morning I taught my first step aerobics class. It was fun and a bit crazy! Transitioning from one move to another is not as easy as I thought it would be!! Here is a picture of the class format for today. 

 

Hard at Work

Final day of our class took place in our classroom. I have two more lessons to write and then I am heading home to start the holiday weekend. Really I am going to mow the lawn before any storms happen! Have a safe and happy fourth!!!!!
