Hello fellow 5/6 bloggers.  Miss Z. here, with my first 5/6 Summer Blog Entry.  Feel free to post comments in reply.  Your 5/6 teachers will be posting blog entries here periodically throughout the summer, and we hope you will leave messages to let us know what you are up to and what you are doing to keep your mind sharp over the summer!

As we end the 2011-2012 school year, I am definitely looking forward to some time to rest and relax over the summer break.  The day after school lets out, I will be flying back east to my childhood home in Connecticut.  My mother is getting ready to sell the house that my family has lived in for over 35 years!  We have to clean things up, and I have to dig through the attic to sort out my mementos from all my junk. When I was younger I was a bit of a pack-rat and didn't let my parents throw away anything.  I always made them feel guilty by saying, "You can't throw away my childhood!"  Well, they didn't, so now I have to.  I'll sort through all my stuff and see if I can salvage a few goodies for the 5/6 kids next school year.  I know you are all beside yourselves with anticipation!

Other than an arduous trip to Connecticut, I am going to spend my summer in sunny Colorado, hiking with my dog, and reading lots of books!  I also love to play with technology, so I will be spending a good deal of time making websites and tools that we can use next year in our classes.  I can't wait to share with you what I come up with.

I hope you all have a wonderful summer.  Make sure you try some of the activities out that we have posted on the Glogster on our 5/6 homepage.  Maybe you could even try making a Glogster of your own!  Take care, and I'll check back soon.
