We are headed to the finish line and it's going to be a fast and busy last few weeks! We'll need to pace ourselves-- the to-do list is long and time is short! Open House is just over two weeks away! It seems like the year just started. This time of the year can get crazy, and we'll be working on end-of-year stuff while simultaneously planning and preparing for next year. Pace yourself, get rest, and enjoy the kids!
Things I loved over the break
- Checking out the fun Instagram and Facebook posts of you all having a great time-- Amy may win with the moose in Alaska :)
- Petra did an amazing blog at CUE Rockstar Chico presenting about classroom blogging in her session Blah Blah Blog!
- Our guest bloggers Jenifer Pearsall and Diana Patterson's posts about autism awareness inspired a school in Palo Alto to start a blog-- and their first post was a guest post by a parent about autism.

Tech tip
Over the break, I discovered that Alice Keeler had been doing a 10 post series about awesome Chrome Extensions. I found some great ones. Check out her post here. It's the 10th part, but it links to all of the other parts too. http://www.alicekeeler.com/teachertech/2014/04/16/5-chrome-extensions-for-teachers-part-10/
