May 16th- Take that NJASK!

May 16, 2014 Year 3 Day 16
FREE PRETZEL #16
A Friday of any week is a cause for celebration. A Friday anytime in May is usually awesome, less so if it's raining.  But THE Friday after NJASK is complete, may have them all beat, especially for 3rd, 4th and 5th grade teachers. The third grade teachers at Sharp School received a little snack this morning during their PLC (teacher talk for meeting) and it was cool to catch them a little off guard.

Two of these ladies are no stranger to receiving a FREE PRETZEL and were happy to get one today.  Lisa F and Kristi were each recipients. Lisa last year and Kristi on her birthday in year 1.

Lisa G knew about the blog from Facebook and was thankful to receive a nice snack to end her week.  She should be getting happier.  She has been teaching in the Cherry Hill District for 7 years and been bounced around to just as many schools and very soon will be graced with tenure. 
Maybe then we will celebrate with more pretzels!

Rosaline is a Kentucky girl and the biggest University of Kentucky fan I know.  We can talk basketball until the cows come home and I just hope that her Kentucky product Nerlens Noel can start paying dividends next year for the Sixers!.  She was extremely touched to receive her FREE PRETZEL and even asked me if she could give me a hug.  I obliged saying that it wasn't the first time someone has given me a hug after getting a FREE PRETZEL.

These ladies have the very tough job of preparing the young third graders for their very first standardized test. The kids can be nervous and moody and sometimes scared.  Its crazy really, but when it is all over, they all breathe a sigh of relief.  Teachers and students.  Even though they looked pretty relaxed, given that their testing ended on Thursday, I hoped to make there day a bit happier.  They deserve it for all the hard work they put in every day. Thanks for letting me crash your meeting ladies.

Friday is pizza day in a Casale household.  Rainy Fridays may start a new tradition.  Pizza and a movie day!  I am happy to report that yours truly handmade these beauties:

And then we all watched the animated movie The Nut Job.

The weather looks beautiful for the weekend.  Get out there and do something nice and have some fun.  I'll see you on the internet later.

Until tomorrow...
