New Diet.....

This week was my first real week as a teacher and I have learned one thing.... Kids always tell the truth. Due to this newly rediscovered fact, I am now on a diet!! This week, I was told I look like a giant bumble bee when I wore a yellow and white cardigan. But that is not what set the diet into action. It is actually a comment from my sweetest student. I am talking about one of those students that never say anything, always participates in lessons, and is just a sweetheart! Well, this is how the comment that change my diet came about. I had just finished giving directions to my students and was walking around helping individual students. The girl next to my perfect student(mentioned above) raised her hand for help. I went to her side and was bending over to help her without really realizing how close I was to "perfect student." "Perfect student" then proceeded to say,"That is just too juicy!" referring to my butt..... I turned around and asked him what he said and he just stared at me in shock. He did not know I could hear him and I am not even sure if he knew he had said it out loud. Well, it was so funny I couldn't help but laugh. He looked like a deer in headlights because he was so afraid he was in trouble. Now, I am on a diet. Why you might ask? Because it is true.... my butt is too JUICY!

New Teacher....

Long time, no blog.... Well, I have successfully finished my first session of teaching summer school. I think I had some of the cutest kinder kids ever! So, now that summer session is over my life is consumed with new teacher training. I am spending my last few days of summer in training. I am excited to be a new teacher ,but I am going on training overload. Only 5 more days of professional development before school starts.

Now the fun begins.... Today, I saw my new classroom for the very first time. I was shocked by four things when I walked into my room.
1. It has a bright purple wall.
2. It is super big and tall! (exciting except I can't reach the tops of the bulletin boards)
3. 3 Brand new awesome Mac Computers in my room!!!
4. Everything, I mean everything under the moon was just piled up in the middle of the room.

So, I have lots to do with a little bit of time to do it in. With the help of some friends, I hope to be able to post some finished pictures soon. (Thanks Bradley and Jana!)


Keep my students, this school year, and especially me in your prayers.

I heart faces- Sepia

This week's theme for I heart Faces is Sepia tone. I love to use sepia when using my camera. For some reason, it makes me feel like the picture is cuter. The picture I decided upon is one of my youngest nephew, Eli. He is a chunky happy baby who loves bath time. : )

Haleigh loves the Beatles and wanted to redo the Abby road picture. We did so but backwards...

I got a job!!

Over the past few months, I have been so worried about finding a teaching position for Aug. since nobody in Mississippi has any money. I graduated in December and have been filling in at a school where I live. I loved this school but they did not have any openings. This left me to interviews. Just for those who don't know.... I HATE interviews!!! I hate feeling like I have to sell myself especially since I always leave feeling super cheesy. Well, I was starting to worry because it is now summer and still no luck with jobs till this week. This week I had two interviews. Both of the schools are awesome schools and would be great to work at. After the interviews, comes the hard part.


Waiting!!!

I hate waiting!! Well, now the wait is over! I got a call this morning from one of the schools. I will officially be a teacher in August! I will be teaching 5th grade Language Arts and Social Studies!! I can't wait to have my own classroom and look forward to the next school year! : )

I heart Faces- Silhouettes

Ten on Ten

So, typically ten on ten are ten pictures taken on the tenth of the month. This is my first ten on ten but I will be doing things a little different. Instead of all the pics being from today, I will be including some pics from yesterday. I hope you enjoy my ten on ten! The pictures include Eli's first time swimming, the first swim of the summer in our pool, and Henry's t-ball game.
