Mr. A's End of Year Gotta Have Goals Video

This is the Gotta Have Goals video from a DVD that I made up for my 5th Grade math and Science class at Trinity Meadows Intermediate School in Keller, TX. I included a link to the class blog that I keep for the parents

Enjoy!

The Texas State Fair and other things

Well, the Texas State Fair is here, and almost gone and it does not look like we will be going. We had some free teacher tickets but, well as Linda and I are getting settled, the money was just not in the budget even for 'free' tickets. As anyone who has ever been to the fair knows, there is NO such thing as a FREE day at the fair! After spending $10 to $25 for parking (CAN THEY DO THAT?????), and you HAVE to have a Blooming Onion! Then everyone is trying to sell something that you Can't live without!

I am working on a Blog page for the school and my classroom. It is coming along pretty well, just have not been able to get the code into my current class page. In the meantime, here is the blog page link: http://tmis-mra.blogspot.com (I think that link will work) and the class page is through the campus web site in the Faculty Contact pages - Mr. A's Math and Science Pages

Well, that is the latest, I will try to put up some recent pictures next time. When Linda was in Tulsa, we received a picture of all of Matthew and Jose's children, together. A very nice portrait of the 5 grand-children together.

God Bless and until next time....

Trinity Meadows Pictures

I cannot begin to say how incredibly blessed these kids make me :) Enjoy these smiles and inquiring minds....

Arroyo Update

Let's see, for the latest! I am back to being "Mr. A" and loving the classroom. I have been trying, on a shoestring (actually, borrowed "shoestrings!") to get my classroom up and running. I have done pretty good at getting my classroom into shape. I carted my Star Trek models from home to help decorate, used my imagination (well, Linda's imagination too) and this looks like I was made for this!

We did our first lab experiments last week and I am up at the school grading students' Science Journals, taping up seed plantings and trying to finish a paper for my Masters. Busy Sunday!
