Whatcha Been Up To?

I hope that my former students and maybe some rising fifth graders out there are enjoying their summer vacation! I've been under a sea (look at picture) of nursery fabric, storage bins, and of course a little bit of school work. Mr. Whitaker and I are preparing for the arrival of baby Mack in late September, but before he arrives I am getting super organized at school and home. I have great hopes that a fabulous book or two have landed in your hands, that you are swimming past your bedtime, and laughing with friends!

Pearce and I visited the quintessential Florida tourist stop, Weeki Wachee Springs to visit the mermaids.
