New Calling

I no longer plan and hold the activity days for the 8 and 9 year old girls. After doing that for over a year and half, someone else gets to do it. Yay! I can't tell you how much I am going to miss doing activity days. I enjoyed the girls and bonded with them.

Now I am onto bigger and better things. I get to share a calling with an awesome lady in my ward teaching 14 and 15 year olds. I'm glad that I don't have to teach every weekend. The church has updated the curriculum and I am in love with it. I love that it takes the responsibility of the learning to the kids and helps them come more converted unto Christ. The teenagers are great (well some of them need a kick in the pants). I taught them for the last two weeks and I am off of teaching them for two weeks. I searched sugardoodle.net for some ideas and I had the students create a notebook to bring back and forth so they can write their thoughts down during the week. Some did partake of that some didn't but that is okay. The tool is there for them. It will be good for them when it comes time for them to teach something in seminary and then they will be thankful.

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...
