Whew, what a Day!!

Today was a long one, but a good one. I started off going to the Tech Club that we put on every Thursday morning for those students who want to learn more about technology. Then I only had a half a day with my class. I am always bummed when it is a quick day. I like being able to finish out a whole day with my class. It was parent teacher conferences today and yesterday. They went well. I always enjoy getting to know the different parents that go with the students that I have the opportunity of knowing. I was very tired today though because I was in conferences all day until late into the evening. We did a really cool thing as a class today. My students and I were able to participate in a webcast that involved scientists in the Arctic who study Polar Bears. It was a live broadcast and I was able to send in questions that my students had and they received answers from the scientists themselves. The scientists even told my students "hello" by specifically mentioning the name of our school and class. They thought it was great!! I knew that they would like it. :) Well, I am pooped. I am going to jump into bed!
