Only One More Day!!!

This cold weather needs to get some gone!!  I'm telling ya, it's wearing me down!  :-( 
7th and 8th grade have an academic meet today @ Seiling at 1:30.  The 6th graders have been gone all day today competing at the music festival at Cheyenne.  Not much else happening.  Try to get some rest and attack tomorrow with a mighty gusto!!!  Testing starts in less than 2 weeks!!!!  We Will Be Ready!!
 A nod of appreciation to my 7th graders today.  They really worked hard, and we had a very productive hour as a result.  In 8th grade, Jessie is doing a GREAT job of reading aloud, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.  Keep up the good work!!  A special shout out to Jackie Price, Mr. McClendon, and Debbie Rounds for being faithful followers of this blog.  We appreciate it!!

Terrific Tuesday

Well, according to Mr. McClendon he is still in the lead for the Final Four Tourney pretend pool.  Of course, this surprises no one since he is the one doing all of the figuring and calculating!!  The tourney isn't over yet so time will only tell......  Lots of activities today:  HS baseball here with Cheyenne; JH softball here with Arnett; and HS softball at Sentinel, just to name a few.  Today in both classes we just graded the assignments from yesterday and used today as a catch-up for some that had late work out and others that needed to read their library books.  I've got to comment on the weather before I close my blog.  I WANT TO WEAR SHORTS AGAIN!!!  Mr. Winter--enough already!  Have a fabulous day.  :--)

Only Four Days This Week

This week is our first official first Friday off.  Woo Hoo!!!  I was sick last Friday.  And I can only say
I"M SICK OF BEING SICK!!  I'm ready to be healthy and feel good again!!  I hate lying around my house.  I'm a mover and a shaker and I like to go, go, go!!  It's also affecting my running!!  I'm about to spaz out about that, too!!  One thing about not feeling good the last two weeks, it makes me more appreciative of the good health that I normally have.  I'm thankful for my healthy body.

Hump Day Wednesday!!

Middle of the week Wednesday--looking to get over the hump of the week!!  I believe this week is lasting a millenium--slow and draggy!!  Congrats to all of our teams that played yesterday.  Everyone had wins, except the 3&4 boys bb, who only came up a skosh short.  Good Luck this morning to JH academic bowlers at Sharon-Mutual today.  HS baseball plays in the Lookeba-Sickles tourney today. Win it all!!!

Terrific Tuesday Totally Tubular

Here it is, Tuesday, and I can't wait till Friday!!  C'mon week--roll by quick!  I finally got the low down on who all made the OKC show sale.  Congrats to Sheldon, Macee, and Holly.  There are a ton of ballgames today:  HS ba here vs. Fargo; JH sb @ W'ford; HS sb @ Arapaho Fest; and 3&4 bb @ Arnett.  Whew!!  Here is a chewey morsel of school "gossip."  It seems there is a little bit of a scuttle-butt about Mr. Mclendon's two brackets and the way he is scoring the Final Four pretend pool.  Supposedly, no one is accusing him of any wrong doing--yet......
 Let it be known that no comments will be made on this blog about the validity of his brackets or his scoring procedure, until further research is done to support those "alleged" allegations.
:-) 

Remember--Be FABULOUS in all you do and to all you meet!!!  Have a GREAT day!!

I believe this is the last full 5 day week of school that we have left.  I think the rest of our weeks after this week will be four day weeks.  Congrats to all of our stock show kids that made the sale.  I'll have a list hopefully tomorrow.  HS baseball plays all this week.  JH softball plays tonight at Canute.  3&4 basketballers play tomorrow at Arnett.  A lot going on this week.  Stay healthy and focused!!
