Spring Vacation

How will you spend your Spring Vacation?  Will you travel? Will you relax and catch up on your DVR recordings? Will you be cleaning? Will you take your kids to the Park, Zoo or an Amusement Park?  Will you catch up on homework of your own? Will you be grading papers?

Me, I will spend my Spring Vacation catching up on homework of my own.  I will spend time with my fiance and spoiled dog.  I will fit in some relaxing.  I also want to go camping.  I sure hope we go camping!  

What will you do during your Spring Break?

Jog_A-Thon

What a great way to fit in exercising for yourself, while promoting exercise for your students...

On Friday, March 22, 2013, my school held a Jog-A-Thon that was hosted by the PTA.  Due to school for myself, loads of paperwork for my job and teaching my students, I have not been able to fit in a really good workout.  I have purchased a workout band, which gives me a good and quick workout.  However, it's nothing like a good run.
During the Jog-A-Thon, three of my young competitive staff and I turned the kids' Jog-A-Thon into a nice workout.  When the kids got too tired, I would sit them out on the side lines with water and my other staff.  I would then begin running beside another one of my students.  It was a time where I did one whole lap by myself.  I was trying to catch up with one of my other students. When the Jog-A-Thon ended, I had to change my shirt because it was damp from sweat. 
What a great day and workout.  It felt good to multi-task and work on my health, while assisting my students with their health.
