FAjitaville R & R

Fajitaville - Friday nights will never be the same. I stopped here Friday night for some R & R with a few friends. I really have needed it and the view of the beach area just made everything worth it.


So I had a marvelous time with friends until late in the night. I can tell you the place has come a long way since it first opened. I can't say it's perfect yet. The food still needs a lot of tweaking. However, our waiter - Jake- was awesome and attentive for the 6 hours we were there on the porch. The drinks were refreshing and the ambiance was unbelievably laid back and relaxful. We had the potato skins with chicken and beef, I wish they hadn't put the gravy over them. That killed it for us somewhat. We had the bacon wrapped jalapeno's stuffed with cream cheese and shrimp. These were unbelievable and I should have ordered a second basket. It was a great night for all. So go ahead and check it out.

Flipped Classroom Model

Well, our school is going to work with the flipped classroom model next year! On top of it, John Samara of the Curriculum Project will be assisting teachers on our campus to help make improvements in our teaching, give us a stronger interactive classrooms, and more hands on learning. I am looking forward to this and have begun reading up on the Flipped Classroom. On top of that I have increased my summer reading with the Instructional Strategies for the Middle and Secondary Social Studies and the Flipped Classroom.  There are other books I will post about for reading, but this is all for now. I am getting ready to enjoy a well earned vacation back east of which I will post multiple pictures. Hope Everyone is enjoying their summer! Becky

Summer has Arrived

 Well Summer has arrived. This would normally mean I have a life outside of school back. However, I have decided to work summer school. I know I am either a glutton for punishment or love teaching a whole heck of a lot. I think I will go for the last one. Our School Field Day was a rousing success!

As you can see, I made myself a target of Great Joy to Students. Yes, I volunteered for the Dunk Tank! Thankfully I was smart and chose to be the first one inside it.

The students had fun and enjoyed a day to be kids! It was a great reward for all their hard work and effort through the year! I salute the 8th grade class! They were an awesome group. I will miss them all, but am excited for their future success! 7th graders turned 8th graders I will see you next year! Enjoy your summer!
