We've been back to school for a week now....this means summer is officially over. Things have been going okay at work....I have done an interesting activity with my 5-6th grade classes as a "get to know you" activity....I made students think of things they have done before that they think no one else in the class has done... and I've made my own list. These are things off the top of my head that I have done that I don't think any of you have ever done! Please let me know if you HAVE done any of these things, then go create your own list of things that only YOU have done and post it on your Blogs!!
- Been to Mexico 20 times
- Driven a classic Corvette every day in the summer
- Lived on an Indian Reservation
- Bred Leopard geckos
- Camped in the mountains in January
- Walked across the Mississippi River

Ha! I've not only done one of your list...I've done three!
I visited Groud Zero only weeks after 9/11 and many, many time since.
I have camped in the mountains of NJ along the Appalachian trail 4 times in January and twice in February.
My freshman year dorm room was haunted. Each time we had a thunderstorm we would wake in the middle of the night to find our door swining open, (and yes, we always locked it because it would not stay closed by itself and no, neither of us was a sleepwalker). Creepy!!!
