A Little Bragging

School is almost back in session and I hate this time of year.  I have never really liked school and I feel for all those kids that have the same feeling.  I know that Brett is looking forward to having some structure in his day, but I will have to admit, I love having Brett home for the summer.  There is something about coming home and seeing him after work.  Maybe I have realized that when school is back in session, our lives get busier.  Not only does school start again, but so does soccer, and after school meetings, and parent teacher conferences and IEP's and the list goes on.  We just don't see each other as much.  

But the reason for all of this is because Brett is an incredible teacher, soccer coach and husband.  He puts his heart and sole into everything he does.  He takes what he does seriously, but has fun doing it too.   He is one amazing man and I feel that he doesn't get all the credit that he deserves.  So, with that, I will brag him up a little bit :)

This year he decided his classroom theme at the elementary school is transportation.  Brett chose to make all of his bulletin boards. 

This first one is "Blasting off to Math Stars" each kid will get a space ship with his or her name on it and as they achieve a goal, they will get to move their space ship through the stars.

Next is the "Writing Station"

These next two are reading goals.  The first one, the kids will get a plane that will "fly" across the room as they meet their individual goal and the other will have hot air balloons that will "float" up as they meet their goals. 

 

I am so incredibly proud of my husband.  He worked so hard on these.  Coming up with the idea and executing them with gusto.  He wanted to keep the kids involved in keeping of the data and also giving the kids a visual of exactly where they are at.  I couldn't be prouder of my husband.  Thank you for allowing me to brag about him for a little bit :) Good luck to all you teachers out there.  I hope you have a wonderful school year!
