The Saturday 7

1. Exciting news: I was able to move my school library into a bigger space! A few years ago, we got downsized to make room for more classrooms, and I've been cramming 24-26 kids into this space for every library period: That's not a great picture, but you get the idea. However, we just hired a new Head of School and he thought it would be a better fit for him to take this room and me to take the former Head of School area. Check out all this space! I had my first library classes in the new room this week and it was such  an improvement! 2.

The Saturday "7" - Road Trip Edition!

It's always me who has to go. This is one of the reasons I hate road trips. My bladder is the size of a pea. The drive to Columbus was supposed to take 5 hours, but it took more than 6 because of stops and because Lucy drives the speed limit. But we were prepared. The kids brought all kinds of things to entertain themselves, and I had gotten a few games to play. Downloaded Netflix shows and Fast Food Sign Bingo Crochet This game is called "Shotgun" and was a lot of fun!...
