Venu and I took a day trip out to Starved Rock State Park. We decided to explore the fantastic places right around Chicago. I can't believe I haven't been there before! It was beautiful.

April 27th--Volleyball
The teachers are huddling during the Staff/8th Grade volleyball match. Teachers won 2 to 1.
April 26th--Dinner
This is part of my healthy eating. It is a chicken spinach salad recipe I got from You: The Owner's Manual. It has lots of great recipes.
April 25th--Conference Planning
Did I just finish a conference? Suzanne was inspired by the writing conference and now she is planning to adapt the idea to a science symposium. Here we are discussing some ideas for her project. Her daughter, Charlotte, is a fabulous photographer!
April 24th--Paintings from Crete
These are some paintings I bought the last time I was in Greece. The artist is from Crete, although I bought them on Mykonos. Maybe I can pick up some more this summer when Tiffany and I go with our grant from the Fund for Teachers.
April 23rd--All Set to Go
I may not have made it through the raw diet, but I am trying to exercise more and eat healthier. I've packed my bag and am ready to go.
April 22nd--Karyn's
Venu and I tried eating raw for two weeks. She was successful; I was not. In order to celebrate
our success or lack thereof, we went to lunch at Karyn's Raw Restaurant. It was actually good! You can't imagine what they can do with kale!
April 21st--Green Festival
I went to the Green Festival at Mc Cormick Place. Lost of interesting ideas. The highlight of the event was the bike valet.
April 17th--Bus Ride
View on the 147 bus on the way home from Pilates. I always forget to take the good pictures when I'm doing something interesting!
April16--Preparing Report Cards
I spent several days assembling report cards. I finished them just in time!
April 15th--Chicago
Chicago was selected to be the U.S. entry for the 2016 Olympic Games. Do we have a chance? Maybe. My personal best is Doha.
April 14th--Rock, Paper, Scissors
A crowd of students played Rock, Paper, Scissors at the conference. Here they are milling around to find their next competitors.

April 10th--Getting Ready
The Writing Conference is coming up on Friday and Saturday. My classroom has been converted into the staging grounds. My students and the staff at Peirce have been a huge help!
April 9th--What a Relief!
I bought two awful tapestries in Mexico and then I suddenly came to my senses. I was able to persuade the shopkeepers to trade my disgusting carpets for this one and one other.
April 5th--Dancing in the Zocolo
We came across a marimba group and everyone was dancing, including this old guy.
April 4th--Hiking?
Rip-off Day 2: We went on a hike with Casa Sagrada. Basically they drove us up a big hill and we walked down. Here we are at the top before we realized it was a total scam.
April 3rd--Casa Sagrada
Here is Venu relaxing at Casa Sagrada in Teotitlan del Valle. It was beautiful, but a rip-off!
April 1st--The Cathedral
This is the Cathedral in the Zocolo. There were too many pictures to choose from!March 31st--Arrival in Mexico
Venu and I arrived in Mexico City after a super long flight. Even though it was late and we were tired, we still wanted to check out Condesa. Here we are getting ready to go.
