Welcome!

Well, it is that time of year again; time to retire the flipflops, visit the barber shop (do kids still do that?), and practice earlier bedtimes... Back to School!

I had a fantastic summer.  My nephew Cameron came out for a great visit.  I drove him back home to Edmonton, where I got to attend a family reunion and visit with all my cousins (old and new), aunts, uncles and my grandma Myrt (I like to tell stories about her... ask me about her full name sometime).
I then returned home to head out to Wisconsin for a week of fun and relaxation.  In addition to some home renovations, a visit to Falcon Lake, and an epic day of geocaching (can you believe I found 285 geocaches in one very, very long day?), I also paid a second visit to Alberta for another family reunion!  It has been a crazy, good summer.  I hope that yours has been too!

I am really excited to get started with the new school year.  Mrs Wood and I have some amazing plans for the year ahead.  There will be lots of important information going home the first week of school in regards to some amazing ways I like our class to connect with home, family and the world!  We will be using some cool tools such as Kidblog, Blogger, Twitter and Remind 101.  They might sound intimidating, but they are awesome ways to communicate, celebrate and share our learning!

See you soon!
