Because I was diagnosed with cancer March 1st of this school year, I have been on a medical leave of absence since March 26th. I have made it through 6 full weeks of chemotherapy and radiation for five days every week. I have been healing for the past 4 weeks and am so sad I could not complete this school year with my little ones.
My plan for the summer is to recuperate and become the healthiest 2nd grade teacher I can be. I will work on my stamina and spend time with my teenage son – that is when he can squeeze me in with his girlfriend.
LOVING LIFE…

We have lived in it for 2.5 years and couldn't find the time to decide on colors. We will also take a few long weekends here and there. Good Luck on your move and future job!

This is my first summer off in 10 years (I have been working at a summer camp since I graduated from high school…I know…ancient!) and can't wait to relax, sleep, and read some good books with my feet in the sand :o) Not to mention, make some awesome things for my classroom from all of those Pinterest ideas! Might not sound too exciting, but those little kindergarteners keep you busy all year! Time for a much needed brain break!

Your blog has helped me so much this year! I was recently moved from 5th grade to 1st and loved the little ones but needed to adjust my teaching style. None of the 5th grade projects I had spent years perfecting could be used. But your blog got me so excited about teaching first grade and gave me so many helpful ideas. So thank you!
This summer, I will get two more precious months home every day with my 4 month old baby girl! I had to go back to work after having her in January and being away from her is heartbreaking. Can't wait to be home again with her.

Over the summer I will be spending 7 fun-filled nights in St. Augustine Beach, Florida. It is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places I have ever visited. Soft, white sandy beaches, lots of fun little quaint beach places to eat, a condo overlooking the sunrise EVERY morning… what more could a girl ask for? Well, maybe Hawaii!!! We will have to wait to visit there when our little ones are older and it will actually be a real vacation! Too expensive not to enjoy EVERY single minute of it.
I also LOVE your blog, all the super-cute ideas, and all the sharing! I sure hope your new job is in primary – otherwise I'm in trouble since I teach Kg!!! lol
Good luck packing and on your last day of first grade (at least for now).

Hi,
I log on to your website often to get wonderful ideas for my K-l class. Since blogging, I have gotten the chance to expand my educational horizon. Well, this summer I will have to prep my array of wonderful centers recently purchased. This way, I am at least 80% (a gung-ho percentage!) ready for the 2012-2013 school year. From past experience, being up to speed reduces stress substantially. And since many of the centers I have downloaded are such fun treasures, I know I will truly enjoy myself. Oh, I also would like to include quality time with my family. This school year's combination class assignment has really taken up a lot of my personal time with close ones. Taking walks with my mom and dad (Dad's going to be 82 years old this year.), visiting my siblings along with catching up with my nieces and nephew,
returning to the local gym to sharpen my saw (physical health), & trekking to the Rose Bowl with my pekingese at least once a week (a three-hour hike) are just a few of other things on my to-do list!
Fawn:)

As excited as I am for that … I am even more excited for the I Teach K conference in Vegas!! Sooooo fun! Thanks for all you share with us and your students! Enjoy your time off with your family!

Your blog is my favorite!! I check it frequently. You have amazing ideas. I actually have taught second grade for 7 years and next year I'm going to start teaching first. I am scared out of my mind. But all is well. As for this summer. I plan on taking my children ice blocking. You purchase a big block of ice and take it to a hill and sit on it. It's like your sledding only in the summer. Great fun. We used to do it all the time when I was in college. So happy you made 5,000.

Hello Mrs. Carroll,
First of all I have faithfully followed your blog for the past year-and-a-half and get SOOOO many compliments on all your ideas I have adapted in my classroom. So jealous, the only creative bone I possess is to copy yours 🙂
Now, I want ALL your stuff from teacher's pay teachers, so here is my summer plan:
I am going to Port Aransas with my 2 1/2 year old love named Emily! I recently separated from her father and while it was the hardest thing I have ever done…she (in her own sweet way) has helped me threw this little hiccup. Our beach trip will just be the 2 of us in celebration of my love and appreciation for her!!
Thank you for all your hard work and GOOD LUCK in H-Town!!
p.s. I really don't know how to comment on the blog, not as computer savvy as I'd like to be! Sorry if I didn't do this correctly:O

Mrs. Carroll I first want to thank you for sharing your classroom ideas, strategies, and techniques with the world. The favorite saying for teachers is, "It takes a village to raise a child." This is true. By sharing ideas and strategies that have been successful in one class, may just as well be a hit in another. We as teachers must work together in order to raise those in "our village."
Having the opportunity to EDUCATE a child is FUN FOR ME during the summer. During the summer I normally rest and tutor here an there. But this summer will be even more special. My son is now of age to attend preschool, and preschool is what we will be having this summer. I figure we can do some fun enrichment, preschool type "stuff" and then head to the local library, local swimming pool, swimming classes at a local rec center, vist the aquarium and the zoo, or head out to a movie at least once a week. My dream is to have my own elite school for the little ones and I have to begin somewhere.
I've been teaching for 6 years now, but something is still missing to me, and one day I am going to make a school MY OWN – a school with values that my parents instilled in me, a school were academics and fun take place all in one, and a school that BELIEVES that all children CAN SUCCEED no matter their race, religious belief, disability and so forth.
THAT'S HOW I WILL SPEND MY SUMMER.
I love your TpT store!

First off, I love your blog! It's very inspiring!
I don't have any children of my own, but I do have many little ones that are near and dear to my heart. So this summer, I will be watching two precious little boys: Kayson and Kohlton. Kayson is about to turn one and Kohlton will soon be three. Kohlton is a strong little boy who has cancer. He is a fighter and is continuing to kick the cancer in the butt! I feel very blessed to spend my days with these two happy boys. We're going to have days filled with cars, sprinklers, crayons, and kiddie pools. I am going to cherish every minute of my summer with them! 🙂

You are Awesome! My new husband and I plan to go on a "mini-moon" (or at least that's what I'm calling it) to Niagara Falls. We just go married a month ago (I can't believe that it's been a month already) and I'm loving married life! But since it was still during the school year and we are both broke from the wedding (not to mention I'm teacher- obviously- and he is getting his doctorate- we make little to no money) we didn't get a chance to go on a honeymoon. We plan do do our honeymoon in December over our breaks, but we still wanted to go somewhere so we plan on camping and going to the Falls for our "mini-moon". I'm excited- neither of us have been before! Anyways that's what we are doing- good luck with your move and the packing!!
Thank you,

Congratulations on 5000! I love your blog! So many great ideas! This summer I am working 3 days a week (since my school is open for summer, all breaks, snow days, etc. as it is a small, private school open for daycare when school is not in session), hanging out with my two kids, going to the pool, working out (trying to lose those lbs. that I have put on in the past 10 years), and sitting on the beach in Florida for vacation.

Cara – Congratulations to you and your family! I have been teaching 1st grade and have absolutely LOVED following your blog!! 🙂 When you announced that your husband got a new job and that you were selling your house, moving, looking for a new job… I couldn't believe it – that's EXACTLY what's happened to our family within the last month an a half! My husband got a new job… two weeks later, I got a new teaching job… now we just have to try to sell our house and move 3 hours away sometime within the next two months! God has been SO good – we feel so blessed and we know that somehow things will work out! `Can't wait to hear about your new experiences once you are all settled in!
Take care!

Thank you for everything that you have posted and shared. You are truly an inspiration! Your blog has been a gift, and I treasure the moment when I stumbled upon it. I just got moved from teaching Kindergarten for about 6 years to first grade at the end of August(when school had already been in session for about a month). I had never taught first grade and I was going to be the one and only one doing it at our school. Can I really do this? I would often times ask until… Praise the Lord First Grade Parade saved me and my teaching! I hope your transition into a new city, house and teaching position is calm, enjoyable, and full of new blessings for you and your family. This summer I ( plus my one year old and two year old) will be trying check off as many things off our summer bucket list as possible. We just made elephant toothpaste yesterday. I highly recommend it. Both of the girls we laughing and screaming with excitement.
Thank you,

This summer I plan on spending lots of time with my kids, taking my oldest to an amusement/water park a few hours away, and doing some boating with family. Oh, and try and get some deep house cleaning in. :o)

I wish you luck on your move this summer, Cara. I also can't wait to hear what you'll be teaching. 🙂
My family is doing the same thing as yours, only our timing didn't work out quite so beautifully! Sooooooooo, we will be packing up and moving our 4 bedroom home into a precious little 2 bedroom apartment (where my son and daughter will share a bunk bed) to live for a few months until the new house is ready this fall. Woo-Hoo! Love grows best in little houses, right? FUN, FUN!!!!! My email address is elunsf@neisd.net

I live in Australia so it will be winter here, but I do have a two week break, during which I've promised myself a massage and, if it goes through (fingers crossed) a trip to Singapore with my mother for a true girls' holiday (and hopefully a bit of sun). This is my first year teaching and I've just finished my reports, so a bit of R&R is definitely in order! Other than that I hope to create my own TPT activities based upon Australian story books from my childhood and money Mathematics activities using Australian dollars and cents.
Thank you for all of your wonderful creations, which have entertained (and taught) my students so far this year!

Congratulations on reaching the 5,000 benchmark! I stumbled across your blog and instantly fell in love so thank you for sharing such great ideas! I just graduated from college and got confirmation on approval for my teaching license so my summer has consisted of job searching which has OFFICIALLY come to a close as I just accepted my very first teaching position as a Kindergarten teacher! So now this summer will consist of browsing ideas and prepping for my very first classroom! throw in some time with family and friends and the summer will gone in a blink of an eye I'm sure 🙂
Best of luck on the move! Exciting times for sure 🙂

We are visiting San Diego to sail on a former America's Cup sailboat. My dad used to competitively sail as a hobby, and we gave this to him for his 70th birthday. We are also taking our annual summer trip to the Grand Hotel on Mackinaw Island (in Northern Michigan) to celebrate the 4th of July! We rented a house for the week with our family and friends, are preparing our girls to be in a wedding, and beginning a home renovation! Swoon! Have a great summer!

Happy Summer! Good luck with all the moving and new job in the fall. Change is always a little unnerving but very rewarding! I personally have a lot of change going on in my life! I have spent the last two years working on a Master's degree in Education and finish my final class this coming Monday!!! This is a mid-life career change for me so I'll be student teaching in the fall to certify in my state. I will spend a great deal of my summer going through all the wonderful blogs I have bookmarked over the last couple years that are teacher-related and trying to keep as much as possible in my already-full brain. I'll be student teaching second grade and can't wait. Our lives are definitely blessed 🙂

This is my very first comment on your blog….even though I've been following you forever! You are truly amazing and have made my second year of teaching quite a bit easier (and fancier….my first grade kiddos often used the word "fancy" to describe some of the anchor charts you so graciously shared). You are definitely an inspiration and a blog to follow! Good luck with your move and all that life brings! Something fun….spending time with my two girls and husband + traveling to Hilton Head Island tonight (which is why I can't sleep and commenting at 3:00 am) and off to Sanibel Island in July!

I am waiting to hear about my first job—-I went back to school and just graduated with my MAT! So right now I am dreaming about the set up of my new classroom and trying to catch my home up after two years of saying I have too much schoolwork to do.
Also, enjoying the beach and boat in my finally free time!
Hope I am not too late–

I love your blog so much! You are such a doll. I had a surprise baby girl this year in Sept (was not planned) but she is a beautiful blessing to her dad, two big brothers and myself. We can't wait to spend 2weeks in Carlsbad on the beach as a family of 5 this year. Thank you so much for all your inspiring posts. I look forward to them so much. It has rejuvenated me this year to stay positive when things get discouraging. Hope your move goes well! Valerie

This summer my family and I are going ghost hunting. My daughter, who is 14, is really into ghosts. So this summer we are tracking down ghosts with her. Some of the places we will be going are the Ohio State Reformatory, Buxton Inn, Ghore Orphanage, Eastern State Penitentiary, and Waverly Hills Sanatorium. She has her night vision camera and ghost recorder ready. Watch out ghosts here we come!!
Good Luck on your move.

I love your blog and your units that you sell Tpt. One of our adventures this summer is a family trip to Arizona. We live on easy coast. My husband thought it would be great to visit all the major league ball parks as a father son bonding experience. I don't like baseball and thought I would get out of it. No, I was voted to go as an extra pair of hands. We are starting in Arizona because they are first ballpark in abc order! Gotta love that thinking coming from a 6year old. We are visiting the Grand Caynon and some relatives while we are there. Next year it will be Atlanta! Too funny!

Summer fun will be a trip to Mrytle Beach,SC with my husband, two daugters and son. My son is now 5 years old and our last planned trip to Mrytle Beach was the summer after he was born…instead we spent the week at home in quarrantine because he contracted whopping cough! Scariest time ever the commercials you see now really hit home how lucky we are to have him because so many infants die. It was something I thought didn't happen any more with the vaccinations they give, but it did. We can't wait to hit the beach! Hope you will be doing something fun. Thanks for all the cute things you create I've purchased quite a few.

For the first three weeks of my summer break I am enjoying some peace and quiet as my 3 teenagers are out in Denver seeing their dad. I am planning on relaxing the whole time!
I will be keeping busy with my 4 year old and toddler. We'll be busy going to story times, play dates, the park, and many other things with the MOMS club I am in. I'll also be applying to districts this summer to get back into the classroom. (I'm currently a SAHM due to relocation)We'll end our summer with a relaxing vacation! Even though I'm not in the classroom now I love your cute printables and posts – I used to teach first grade!
I will be spending time with my new husband…doing some fun mini-trips!!!!!
