Rigby Bed Races

For my Arizona friends and family, you can see what a small town I live in now....Anyways, Rigby had their first annual bed races. This was to raise money for the library, I think. They had a pancake breakfast that we slept in and missed. The races were at 10. Yup, we were up by then. They had 5 to a team (four pushed and one rode on the actual bed). At midway, they did a chinese firedrill and continued to the end. Some people brought water balloons and threw it at them. I thought it was kind of funny and one missed the beds and almost hit Clayton..(hee hee) We will go next year. It would have been cooler if there were more beds. Hopefully, it will be a bigger event next year.

I was wondering what those bed races were. Sounds like it was fun. I might check it out next year.

I heard about it on the news. Sounds fun! I drove by it but didn't feel like sitting out in the hot sun. You should enter next year ;)

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...
