Do you know what a code ADAM is?

You might hear this at Walmart when a child is lost! Yep, I am one of those parents who lost their child in the store. Kinda pathetic, right? We decided to go as family and do some grocery shopping. Let me say this was the last time as a family for quite awhile. For the past couple months, we've been transitioning Lyndee to walk along the side of us and stay near us. You can see where this is going, right? Tonight, as Clayton and I were picking out pizza, Lyndee turned around bolted and ran away from us. She ran from the frozen food section all the way to automotive. I have never experienced so much panic in all my life. I am going up and down the aisles calling her name and holding back my tears. I am just thinking the worst and what might happen if she was kidnapped. Very stressful situation. Overhead in the intercom,"We have a lost child, blonde, 4 years old, and wearing pink. This is code Adam." Then someone was bringing here to the fitting rooms. I don't know if I thanked her as I was so relieved that she was found. The lady said that Lyndee walked right up to her and said, "I can't find my mommy." I am actually surprised as she has a speech issues and mental issues. Let's say that Lyndee went straight to her room for the rest of the evening. Me, I am downstairs wishing for the rest of this day to hurry up and finish.

Busy week

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

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...
