And The Winner Is...

I know this is a really special picture of me :) That is because I took it myself with a program on my computer. This morning I was given this plaque and one of my students was invited to come and say a couple of sentences as to why I was a great teacher. Incredibly embarrassing, but the girl is so dang cute, so it was nice! The plaque will NOT be hanging in my classroom, so if you ever want to see it, it will be put away in a box somewhere and you can dig it out yourself...

Give Us a Hand for Great Speech!

That is this year's theme in my classroom. I feel obligated to change every year since I have a lot of children that stay with me for a few years :) So after I have 6 themes I will be done and just rotate through them again!

Another Year Older...

And Wilder Too, Happy Birthday to You! Isn't that how the song goes?!? A turned 3 for his big birthday. We went bowling in the morning and then had Lighting McQueen cake and opened presents later that night.

I hope you notice the amount of detail on the cake... I spent 3 hours with my sister making this cake! We put a base layer of icing on and all the details disappeared, so I had to freehand the details on! Skilled, huh? Other than that I was the mixing and cleaning specialist :)

A loves the TV show Little Einsteins and Annie (featured above) has been called his girlfriend on occasion. So when I found a singing Annie, I just couldn't pass it up! I can't believe how fast he has grown into a little boy...

Impressed Much?!?!

You SHOULD be! With some assistance from my sister and technical help by phone from my mom, my amazing quilt is done and ready to hang in my classroom :)

P.S. (Real Quilters - don't look too closely...)

Just Messing Around...

Since receiving a new computer for school, every time the boys come to see me they want to make "funny faces" so here are a few highlights :)








Fascinating huh?!? I know you're all jealous :)
