Melting...

 When snow melts, it leaves mud. A lot of mud. Last week, we went over to my brother's house. Lyndee fell in the mud just as she hopped out of Clay's car. She never sits on that side of the car so she didn't know that she would land straight in mud. So we left her outside and Brayden and their cousin stayed outside to play with her.Well, after about 10 minutes, my brother spotted Lyndee and Brayden in mud puddles. They were almost covered in mud. Awesome, huh? I am so happy with myself that I didn't even get mad at them. I laid some newspapers down in Clay's car. Then as we were driving home, I told Brayden he should rub it all over his face since people pay to take mud baths. He said, "Serious?" I told him to go ahead and he did. Here are a couple snapshots of their dirty mugs.

Iron Rod Short FHE lesson

Image
I like FHE's when they are short and sweet. I have the attention span of a gnat during the summer. I loved the VT message this month and how there was a simple FHE activity. I went on the Friend and found more about Lehi's Dream. Here is the link . I discussed the pictures with my kids in small kid terms and then we did the activity from the visiting teaching message this month. The kids loved it and I think that they really grasped it--the lesson.    I have found that Monday evenings do not work for me but Sunday's instead. We are already in the church mindset. Why not continue the spirit through to the evening? Thought I would share....

Busy week

Image
Sorry no pictures. I have been so busy this week to a point where I am sure to have a nervous breakdown. First, I have a student teacher in my room over the next 10 weeks. I thought it would be a welcome relief to give her things to teach but I am more exhausted and it is tiring work. Then grades had to be put in and it was down over the Christmas break so I had a huge pile to get in. Parent teacher conferences were on Thursday. I didn't meet with alot. I met with most of my students'  parents. The one that I wanted to talk to of course didn't show. My own children are doing great in class. Brayden is started to read more and more each day. He is reading near the end of his grade level. Lyndee knows all of her alphabet and sounds. They finally let her check out a library book. Yippee! Sometimes I wish that they would treat Kindergarten with more rigor toward the middle of the year to get them ready for first. Just my opinion. My house is feeling very neglected and wil...

Day 5 -- Vacation

Image
On Wednesday, our last day in the land of the heat. We went to the Mesa Southwest Museum. I guess it is call the Museum of Natural History. In all my years living in the valley and in Eagar, we never went to this museum. It rocked! I wished that I could take my students there. This room was all black with flourescent lighting. The kids could write on those white board with light wands. Whatever the kids wrote would be gone in about 20-30 seconds. It was pretty cool. I loved the interactive the stuff. I have been wanting to do this for years with my classroom. I have wanted them to create their plays. Then act them out in front of a green screen and then use a computer program to put their scenery in. I think I am going to find a grant and write one! Sister Lou loved being on T.V. We would couldn't drag this little starlet off it. Isn't this cute? They got behind the TV and now they are projected into an old western. They had a part of the old territorial prison in th...
