Night out

Tonight we went to a pioneer celebration for our stake. We have never gone before and didn't know what to expect. I figured that we would be in and out. Even though dinner was provided, we went out to Gator Jack's beforehand. We came to the church building. There was this huge circle made with straw bales and then covered with tarp to make a fishing pool. There were some trout in it. Little did I know that they put a whole lot of trout in and then the kids try to catch the fish with their bare hands. Lyndee and Brayden both rolled out their pants and went in. They caught fish but I had them put it back. We didn't bring baggies to put them in. I have video of Lyndee and Brayden separately. Gotta tell you the one of Brayden is a hoot.
In this video, he is the screamer.
Lyndee was so wet after her plunge. She was such a trooper. Lyn was in the green shirt.
                                         

Of course, there would be a dunking booth here. Again, I had no idea the kids were the subjects. How cool is that! I would not let Lyndee do it because Brayden was barely tall enough for it. Brayden got dunked! He even did it twice. That was such a hoot! Glad that we went and what was so adorable is that when Brayden said his prayers tonight. He prayed that he would catch more fishies next year. That was worth it!

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...
