Grant County Fair

We were waiting for the kids' parade. I guess it used to be a real big thing. It was cute and very short. I have pictures of my brother and I when we were in this parade growing up.
Waiting for the little parade, kids found heart shaped leaves off of a plant that they were sitting by. Hope no one minded that they picked about four of them.
Rides! Rides! Yummy smell of hamburger and onions! Cotton candy. I was hoping this would be a fix so we would not have to go to the eastern Idaho state fair. I was wrong. They and husband want to go now more than ever. Better save my money!
The kids each had a wristband that let them go on all the rides as many times as they wanted. They LOVED this slide. When I say loved, the guy there told them that they had to let other kids ride it and take a break. So basically they were kicked off. They had lots of fun on it.

This little roller coaster was ridden about 8 times. They weren't kicked off here but they had lots of fun raising their hands in the air.

This ride was ridden twice. The first time Sister Lou decided to stand when it slowed down and was yelled at by me and the guy operating it. They loved it and kept it spinning the second time.

Don't you just love their expressions! Too baby for them. And the motorcycle thing below...But Sister Lou loved them.
She loved looking the farm animals. Little man got his hand bit by a goat but that is what you get for pretending to feed it.
Okay..this was the last ride and I took it with these cheeky monkeys. Sorry no aftershots. These kids squished me sooo bad that I thought I would bust out of the car. Good times! We ended it with getting a traditional fair hamburger with peppers and onions. Yum!

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...
