I need a empty 2 liter bottle

When you are majoring in elementary education you need the most obscure supplies. Thus far this year I have needed the following things:

- dead insect
- butter dish (which I still need to return...sorry guys)
- empty 2 liter bottle (quantity 2) I still need this one so if you have it let me know
- plastic animal
- film canisters
- saran wrap

Who would have known that when you become a teacher you would need such things!

On another note...not totally though...I had an excellent tutoring session at the elementary school today. My kids actually like coming with me now! I can't wait to be a teacher!

A Day to Rejoice and Be Glad

Everytime I sit down at my computer to update my blog I always think to myself what shall I write about today. Then it occurred to me that maybe I should write about another glorious day that God has graciously given me to live on this Earth.

I was working on my art drawing and as I added texture and some black shading I realized how beautiful my picture looked...who knew I was such an artist! It really looks fantastic!

I forgot to blog today for my English class but my ta told me that I could blog tonight and she would give me partial credit! I still need to do that....woops!

I found this excellent big book to read to my students on monday for tutoring!

When I got home for dinner Sara had prepared this excellent chicken dish with macaroni and cheese and vegies for side dishes. It was yummy...excellent work Sara!

I went to prayer at good old Green Gables and it was a blessing...I am getting more and more comfortable praying out loud as I do it more!

To finish off an excellent day I went on a ride to payless with Sara and the wind was blowing in my face so much, on the way back, that there were tears in my eyes! Great way to exercise!

Dinner Report

I sat down in my usual spot at the table here at Shingle Paradise. It was another dinner with the roomies so I thought. As earlier posted I said that I would taste the concoction with an open mind and I did.

The first bite wasn't so bad...I thought to myself I can maybe eat an entire bowl of this pumpkin spiced with peppers soup.

Then I ate the second bite...and I almost cussed! I mean I seriously thought in my my head that this tastes like #*&$. I hope that wasn't too graphic for my juvenile readers out there.

I was determined to finish my one ladel full bowl but after the third bite I was unable to eat any more without vomiting...so I stopped.

Just for the record I did take big bites when tasting the soup.

I guess pumpkin soup is just not for me!

One Classless day

As I recall this good day I sigh with satisfaction...as my title indicates I had the blessing of no classes so I was able to do a great deal of work!

I woke up at 7:20 and dressed in very unwarm clothing...a skirt and a nice pink stripped swetter was just not warm enough for my journey to Murdock elementary school. I had to observe in one of the kindergarten classes there because in a few short weeks I will be teaching a lesson to the students. It was a good hour of observation and I left with good notes to aid in my classroom management plan while teaching.

Got back to campus at about 10 and turned in my homework for my science class.

Returned back to the apartment by 10:30

Completed lesson plan for both WIT and for the lesson being taught at Murdock by 3...yeah I know i'm slow but I ate and chatted some and did a thorough job

Nap 3-4:30

Chat with one of my roommates and studying for my science exam from 4:30 5:30

Currently updating blog

Much more to be done but at least some things got accomplished!

"My heart exults in the LORD; my strength is exalted in the LORD.My mouth derides my enemies, because I rejoice in your salvation.

P.S. I just want everyone to know that I will try the pumpking soup with an open mind...post to come on my wonderful pumpkin soup experience...I admit it does smell good.

Another victorious dinner concoction

I have successfully made my 5th dinner for the roomies and I...nothing burnt and it all tasted delicious! Before I know it i'll be a world renown chief:)...well maybe not but at least a good cook!

I think I am going to turn this blog into all the funny sayings my friends and students say:

Last week when I was observing at my elementary school one of my students says, after hearing someone say this boys name: "Oh my goodness your name's Emilio"...this after over a month of school together! It was funny, I had to turn away and giggle.
