Going to DC


We're going to a resort in Virginia that's close to Washington DC for Spring Break. I'm very excited because I've always wanted to go and we will be there about 2 weeks before the Cherry Blossom Festival which I have always wanted to see so hopefully the trees will be somewhat blooming. Our resort is called Massanuten and it features an indoor waterpark, skiing, and snowtubing....IDK if I will try it but it does sound and look really fun!!

Back to Blogger

I have been so neglectful of my blog lately. So here I will take the time to quickly update. We've been keeping busy with sports on the weekend and in the evenings. At school I got a smart board installed in my classroom this week. It's the one that I wrote a grant for and received over $6000 for technology in my classroom. Not sure I mentioned here but I was pretty proud of myself. The weather has been really good lately and we've been able to get out more. This is a three day weekend for me and a four day for the kids but we've actually kept ourselves busy and have enjoyed the time off. I've been addicted to facebook's word challenge like crazy so that's why I haven't blogged. The kids have one more hockey game and I plan to take some much needed pictures to post. WHEW, that's the update. Now back to more word challenge :)

Buerkle Talent Show Video

I worked with a group of five 8th grade boys from my school for a talent show act. Orignally they wanted to be the Village People but I talked them into trying the Temptations. The video below is from our talent show Wednesday night.




Way to go Joe, Will, Brendan, Phoenix, and Blake!
