Hillary taught me how to download my pictures finally. In going through them I found this one from last Christmas and we couldn't resist adding this to my blog. ZAK has always had a love of Teddy bears. I guess it followed him into adulthood!

This our classes sunflower glyphs about themselves. Sorry it is on it's side but I can't figure out how to turn it. Maybe that is next weeks lesson. Ha! Ha!

For those that are interested this is whatmy back board looks like in my classroom. We go over each area every morning just after the pledge! Wow what a year! Super busy with a lot of expectations!

Okay so I am not regular at this! Just a note to let all that read that I am so proud to be living in this great country. This being September 11, I tried to explain what it is and the meaning to second graders who were just 1 when that horrible event took place. I tear up even now and amazing so did several of my students. It was touching to see the young patriotism even from those that are not native Americans. I know that this country is protected by Heavenly Father's deep love.


I am sooooo glad that it is almost Friday! This week has seemed so very long---but we were told that on Monday we get to move the third grade into their new rooms. Also the playground is beginning to look play ready. We are all really tired of having the soccer field to run around on and the kids look at all the new play equipment with very loooonging eyes. This construction stuff during a school year has really been a test. Plus now our school is soooo big-about a block and half from one end to the other that we are all feeling the extra walking. It is nice to see the progress, just wish it was faster.

I have some really cute pictures that I will post of my classes sunflower glyphs. They couldn't use scissors, oly tearing the paper to get the sunflower. BUT first I have to find someone to help be download them. Keep watching I will get them on soon!
