Brayd's first day at Kindergarten

Right before his big day!
Outside his classroom at the new school. It is huge!
This is where he sits for now.

My oldest, Brayden, had his first full day of kindergarten yesterday. He was so excited. He picked out his outfit. I wished he wore a t-shirt because it was 95 that day and recess would be HOT. His teacher is Mrs. England and is the best. I should know because I have worked with her for the last two years. Clay and I both walked him to his class. He found his seat right away. Then he had to find his clothespin with his name on it and put whether he brought a lunch from home or not. As we were leaving, I broke down and cried. Don't know why. But I guess that is just a mommy thing, right? Brayden had a wonderful day. He said that he painted, sang the ABC song, read books about rats and skunks, and he also got a blue feather for being a good boy. He told me that he loves school! I really hope he continues with that attitude. I am sure he will! Don't tell anyone but I went down on my lunch break and checked on him during circle time.

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...
