My AdOrAblE 5th Grade Practicum Class. . .

Today was my last day in Mrs. Kyriopoulos' 5th grade class at Edith Bowen. I didn't know that in 5 short weeks I could get so attached to every single student in that class. I was brought so near to tears when a student (that I never really thought liked me) gave me a hug at the end of the day and told me how sad he was that I was leaving. . .He even told me that I was his favorite teacher and made me promise to come back and visit. This individual comes from pretty hard circumstances and acts out a lot in class. It really meant a lot to me that I had made that kind of impact on him.

On a lighter note, I received the best-ever going away present from another student today. We had a guest speaker that brought some pretty cheap yardsticks for the kids to keep. One student's ruler broke in the process of goofing off among other things. When he discovered that it had broken off right at a "G" he wrote Mrs. next to it and gave it to me so that I would remember him.

I had such a blast with this class and I really am going to miss all of my kids!

I found this great website for blog backgrounds! if you are interested it is thecutestblogontheblock.com it has backgrounds, fonts and banners. I am a big fan!

The Beginning

I love my husband. . .I think he kinda likes the idea of a blog. He often catches up on Trace and Amber through their blog. So I finally decided to start one. It just so happens that one of my classes requires that I have a blog and while I created that one, I had a little extra time to create this one. Maybe this way, I can keep my family updated on life happenings other than just on facebook. A Blog just seems to be a little bit more personalized and something that I can add my creative flair to. I still have to figure that one out. I haven't started a blog before now because I decided early on that I would not have anything too interesting to say, or fun pictures to post until I had a baby. . . it just so happens that my life is crazy-jam-packed full of all sorts of fun things that people may want to know about. I still think that I will have tons more to say when I start to have children, but for now this will just be the "whenever-i-get-time-and-have-something-interesting-to-say" blog. I am going to give Sean access to this blog too, however, I doubt that he will ever have the urge to post something. I will wait to expose this blog until I can figure out how to customize the appearance.
