Once again....classroom renovation!
Yet again, they are renovating my classroom. Our district was able to pass a budget to upgrade our old school (the current building is 40-50 years old) and one of the projects is to upgrade the performing arts wing. Last year I got new carpet and a new stage. This year I get a new ceiling (which was greatly needed), new curtain tracks and a new sound system! I'm totally excited! The choir and band room are being completely re-done, but my classroom is pretty cool as it is. Here are some of the pictures of it without a ceiling. It's dark, but that's because they had to shut off the power to the room since they were working on electrical. I hope it'll all be done for classes in August!

2010 World Champions: LA Lakers
Last night the LA Lakers won the NBA Finals in a very intense game. They were down MOST of the game! Well, most of you know that my brother, Dave is a HUGE Lakers fan....and therefore so is his family. After the Lakers won I headed up to their house to help them decorate their neighbors house. First, you need some background: Earlier this week some of their neighbors put this in front of their house:
So after the Lakers won, we had the supplies ready: Notice the attire!
I love this picture because it shows all the kids watching Dave do the "dirty work".
So we then headed off with supplies and kids in the car. Mind you, we headed out at around midnight...with the kids! Dave had 24 yellow and purple helium balloons to hang on the houses of the people responsible for the Celtics poster (there were 4 families involved). I'm not sure if he chose 24 because it's 2 dozen or if 24 because that's Kobe's number.
Here I am helping put signs on their garage. We had an entire ream of yellow and purple paper that says "We love LA. Lakers 2010 World Champions".
Kobe and Bryce were in charge of putting yellow and purple yarn all over the cars. Kobe really likes string and he's very creative. These people probably couldn't get into their cars because he was so thorough! Dave wrote on all the cars that were not protected by a garage!
He doesn't look excited, does he? He has yarn and he strung it all over their yard connecting trees and blocking their way out of the driveway and also attaching it to their doorknobs.
Here's Bryce helping Sarah. Lots of signs!
Here's the final product of the sign. Check out their faces! This is around 1 o'clock.
The girls didn't make it. Dave put a movie on and they stayed in the car and totally passed out. I don't blame them!
After we tagged the 4 houses we still had SO many signs...so we tagged most of the neighborhood mailboxes!
Here's one of the front of the houses! It was SO much fun.
GO LAKERS!!!!

Lip Dub
I know some of you have already seen this on my facebook, but this is my high school's "Lip Dub". It's a big thing going around on youtube and our TV/Broadcasting teacher took on the project. The actual lip dub part is done all in one take!! It's pretty incredible. The goal is to get 1 million views. It's been on youtube for 2 weeks and has 11,000+ views! It's pretty amazing! Hope you enjoy it!
