Fun Weekend Part 2

On Saturday my family went to the North Logan Pumpkin Walk. If you have never been to the pumpkin walk you have to go! My family made a pumpkin scene at the very first pumpkin walk and we have been going ever since. I love family traditions. This years theme was being a Hero.

This was my favorite one! I loved the elephant bums!

When I saw this one it made me sad! I wish the twins lived closer! I can't wait to see them this weekend!

It is hard to see but Rachel, Taelor, Rebecca, and Lexi are in this one. I think?!

Great Weekend Part 1

Wow! What a fun weekend! I went to Wyatt's rodeo on Friday and I really think I might be a jinx. Every time I go watch something bad happens. He either gets bucked off, or doesn't mark out, or gets a really low score. Maybe I better stop going!

Lexie and Regan future rodeo queens!

Haden love his Garrett! He want to grow up to be just like him. Hopefully not a bull rider like Garrett! I don't think my nerves could take that!

Randy Munns has been a rodeo clown forever!

Pumpkin Week

The tallest, widest, and smallest pumpkins!

Morning class

This week we have been working on measurement. We measured the height and weight of our pumpkins. The kids made pumpkin "belts" to measure the circumference of the pumpkin and made "towers" to measure the height. The kids loved it and it was so cute to watch them learn something new. We also talked about estimation. They estimated how many cubes high their pumpkins would be. I think we might need to work on that a little bit! :) Tomorrow we will try pumpkin seed and graph our favorite jack-o-lantern faces. The winning face will be carved in a gigantic pumpkin I bought this past weekend. That should be interesting. Did I mention that I love Halloween?!

A little off on our estimating!

Pain!

You truly don't know pain until you try to teach 50 kindergarten kids with the flu! I feel like a sledge hammer is pounding away in my head. The kids are being so good. It is like they know something is not quite right. I am trying to be excited because we started our pumpkin unit today, but I just can't do it. Let’s all pray that tomorrow will be better!Thank goodness for good students!

Freezing!

It is a perfect day to be cuddled up in a blanket and staying inside! It is freezing outside and snowing really hard. When I left Vegas I was so excited to have snow and the cold again. Now, I'm not so sure. But everything is beautiful after the first snow of the year. It was fun to see Karen's kids run outside at the first sight of snow! According to the kids they were dressed in "snow clothes". But when I went outside they didn't have socks on! So much for snow clothes! I laughed when Haden came in and asked "When are we getting our Christmas tree?"

Logan and Lauren are ready for the snow!

Brand New School

I was so excited to move into my brand new school! Things were really rocky for the first few months. It was crazy not knowing if we would open on time or what was going to happen. But now that I am in and almost everything is finished I absolutely LOVE it! My class room in huge but I really would like to change a few things. I wonder if the district has ever asked a real teacher before they design things they way they do. But the school is beautiful and it is fun having everything new! These are the "before" pictures.

This is the Kindergarten playground

I love all the cabinets, but I can't reach the top even with a ladder!

I've always wanted a reading area!

Okay I'm In!

Here it goes! I'm taking Lexi's challenge and starting my own blog! I love the idea of keeping in touch with everyone so I'll give this a try. Hopefully, I'll have fun stuff going on to keep you entertained!
