Rockin Rooster

Group Hug

Rockin Rooster

We had an assembly today, Rockin Rooster Assembly. Each teacher gets to pick a student that exceeds the teachers expectations. Our afternoon was a huge wash, but they had fun. They enjoyed their eggs, even those that thought they wouldn't. I told them they should try it and they might be surprised. They were pleasantly surprised and quick to tell me I was right. It was nice. When our rockin rooster made it back into the room they bombarded him with a group hug, I ran for my camera to get a shot and I got I was so proud of myself to get it. They tried to look at me I told them to look down knowing I was not wanting any faces in it. Then about five minutes later our rooster was putting his shirt over his head and dancing. And I caught that as well. So I didn't have to heart out any faces.

More Pictures

There are more kindergarten pictures on my other blog. I posted a couple over here and thought I would let whoever cares know there are more. We made hats and masks and today made puppets out of paper sacks. I have a few more days left in the class, the teacher should be back sooner than the school had expected.

Ee is for Egg!

Our letter this week was Ee for EGG! A students uncle brought us some Banty Chicken eggs. I added the regular egg to show how small they were. I hard boiled them and took them in for snack for Friday. The kids loved it! They thought it was coolest snack ever!

Kindergarten

I just wanted to let you all know that I am doing alright......lol. I am teaching kindergarten right now. I will be in the same room for a few weeks. The teachers husband is having surgery so she will be out for a few weeks. The classroom is a lot of fun. The kids are wild and crazy. Basicly as long as I stick to the reading times and what I need to do for that I can whatever else I want to within reason. So it wil be a lot of fun for the next few weeks. I will try to keep you updated. My goal is to get better on here but you know I can only write about so much. Have a good weekend all.

My First Quilt

Here is my first quilt. I left the image on the bigger side so you can see the detail in it. The right side was cropped out to avoid other things in the picture. Its just the quilt top, it needs to sewed together with a bottom and batting in the middle. Sorry for the lack of terminology. I am pretty proud of it. I am told after this I can do anything. I am signed up for a class tomorrow to learn some more new things.....thank you mom and dad :)

What I have been up to......

I have been diligently quilting. I have finished the top of my quilt. I say my quilt because I (or really mom) to keep it. I really like it a ton. I will post pictures when I get a good one of it. Since I decided to keep it I have made a wall hanging for the baby's room. I really like it too, but will be willing to part with it. I am ready to make a few more things. So stay tuned for what is to come next. We went to dinner tonight at Colton's, its a steakhouse where you throw peanuts on the ground. We were being pelted but others in our group. The owner of the quilt shop, her husband's birthday was today. So this was the celebration.

This is short but thought I would keep you all updated.

War Eagle Mill

I went for a drive yesterday with my parents this was one of a few destinations. It was a beautiful backdrop for nice pictures. Here are a few of the. I thought I would throw in the unsually colored duck at the bottom here.
