School

So, today was my track on day at school. Boy did I work hard to get photocopying done!lol. We do have aides to help with that, but I find it easier to do it myself. I'm excited to start school again. For those of you who don't know, I teach 5th grade in Riverton, Utah. I happen to be at a school that is on a track system (year round school). I am happy to be working in a great school! The teachers are awesome! The school is all indoors meaning air con for the hot summer and heating in the winter. Pretty Cool. Coming from Hawaii this is all new to me. I sometimes miss our open air classrooms. Growing up I loved to look outside at the coconut trees swaying back and forth in the lovely Hawaiian breeze. I felt free and not confined. Looking back, I wasn't always paying attention in school.lol.
This year I am participating in a technology project with 2 other teachers from my school for Jordan District. I figured out that I like learning how a computer works. What I most enjoy is doing projects with the cool programs they have out there. ie.blogs. Oh yeah, I can't forget, I am one of the student council representatives. I am busy this year!
Alohaz.

The picture has nothing to do with school. This is a great picture of the coconut trees swaying in the breeze.

The summer was a blast!







For those of you who know me, I am a person who loves to hang out with friends and family. This summer I was very fortunate to have 5 sisters out of 6 come to Utah and visit. We had a blast at our Pond Family Renunion, and playing around as a family. I even got to see Amy for a couple of hours while she was here in Utah. I hope to see many more of my friends that live here in Utah. It is weird that we all migrated to Utah!LOL

Visiting Julie in Idaho


I had a blast with Julie a week ago. I was off track so I decided to drive 5 1/2 hrs. to see Julie. It had been about 2 years since I had seen her. Julie has a beautiful daughter who is very smart! I am proud to be Aunty Helen!
