New Directions

(no "Glee" joke intended, but still funny)

I think I might make my blog a bit different.

I'm thinking of making it a place to post memories of my childhood. I think that might give me more direction and a better theme....Of course the optional post to complain about my drab
mid-west life will interject here and there.

Something to ponder.

Book Buddies


I'm sitting in my classroom watching my four-year-olds read with their 5th grade reading buddies. It is so amazing how kind and considerate these 5th graders can be! My class just eats it up the entire time they are here. The comes in and sees it on the schedule for the day and their excitement is palpable. (It is also a hoot to hear this little voices reading with their emotions so OVER exagerated!) The favorite book today is "The Pigeon Fids a Hotdog" by Mo Willems. A classic in the making.


On to another weekend. Getting our Christmas tree tomorrow and pulling up carpet. WOOHOO! I think I am up for a fire in the fireplace tonight, hot cocoa, a good movie and some cuddling. :)
