Here today...

Gone to Maui!

Tomorrow, after school, I'm outta here! Off to Edmonton for the night and then I fly out Thursday morning!

Maui wedding! Shannon's getting married!

So many exclamation points!!!

Winter, begone!

Well, last week I realized that we were still working on a winter craft and my classroom walls were filled with winter artwork.

It was our fault that Spring wasn't here!

I told my students so, and we've been working hard at doing what we can to hurry the arrival of my favourite season. We replaced the snowflakes hanging from the ceiling with flowers, took down our polar bear art, and sent home our penguin craft. The walls are starting to fill up with Spring art grids.

And what do you know, here comes Spring!

You're welcome! Sorry about the long winter.

Not so quiet anymore!

It's funny that a month ago I blogged that nothing much was going on in my life because now I'm super busy! And things won't be slowing down anytime soon. I'm looking forward to the next 2 months because they bring some fun things, but it's going to be a VERY busy 2 months!

2 months from today, the following will have happened:

-Senior Drama Dessert Theatre (I'm one of the directors)
-LOTS of rehearsals
-My grade 1s' recitation of two poems at the Music Festival
-Regional Drama Festival with the senior drama
-Another wedding shower for my sister
-My birthday (yay!)
-Possible trip to Regina for best friend's mom's art show
-Trip to Hawaii for my sister's wedding
-Provincial Drama Festival in Regina
-and hopefully some sleep somewhere in there!

So ya, busy busy!

Here's a cute quote from school today: I try to tell my students how I'm feeling when I'm frustrated or impatient with them, so they can understand the impact of their behaviour. Today I found out that one of them sure has been listening! After we had a talk about her less than stellar behaviour, she said, "Miss Smith, I'm going to be on my best behaviour now so that you're not frustrated with me."

All is quiet on the village front...

Well, my life has been quiet and uneventful lately so I haven't had much fodder for new blog posts. But can I just say how happy I am that the days are FINALLY getting longer? My goodness, it seems like FOREVER since it was light out when I leave for work!

Here's a pretty wintery photo to look at until I can think of something to blog about.

I would love to take credit for the photo, but I can only take credit for finding it, saving it, and posting it on here.

One of these things is not like the others...

One of my EA's has been out sick for a couple of months. My students have been asking about when she's coming back, so we made her a booklet of get well pictures and letters. Most of them wrote things like "I miss you, Mrs. C!", "Are you coming back soon?", "I hope you feel better soon!", and "I hope I can see you soon!".

As I was looking through them, I found one that was not like the others. It said, "Dear Mrs. C, I played on the snow hills today. It was fun."

Just keeping her caught up on current events, I guess!

Favouritest puppy ever!

Oh how I love this puppy. His name is Jake and he lives at my parents' house.













Jake and the arrow on the computer. He's trying to attack it...with his tongue.

One of those days

This morning in the shower I couldn't remember if I'd conditioned yet or not. Then I couldn't remember if I'd shampooed. I knew I'd done at least one of them but I couldn't remember which. So I shampooed AND conditioned again. Then I turned off the shower without rinsing out the conditioner.

I can see it's going to be a great day.
