My first repurpose!!!

So, I felt inclined to fix up a crappy black bookcase. I made so many mistakes. I should have primered it which I will do with my next project.  I almost threw the whole thing in the garbage as it fell apart when husband put it on the front lawn. I was shocked that my 10 dollar bookcase should have been worth a few bucks. A few spray cans later, some pegboard to make it sturdy, and fabric to make it pretty...Walla!  I know...I should have been painting my basement rooms. The flooring comes in next week and I still have to paint. 

 But now Lyndee has something to put into her new room that is twice the side of her itty bitty room. She moves in that room next week. So for now it will just have to been in her itty bitty room that will be for guests. Oh, and I get a craft room next week too....Ahhhhh!
Thank goodness, you can't see the sides where the stupid spray paint bubbled and cracked. Not sure why....actually I do but that is my own fault.

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...
