One Great Year!

Dino and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary yesterday!! We went to Little Rock Saturday and stayed at the Crowne Plaza and had a great time! We came home Sunday and decided to go down to the hunting camp and hang out! My Dad came down and we all rode around the woods and enjoyed the pretty weather! We had a great weekend!!In honor of the day I am posting a few pics from our wedding!

Teaching Moments....

OK, I have to share this day with you! Today, one of my 6th grade students kicked another student in the hallway after recess and I told him he knows he is not supposed to touch other people and that this is why we don't get extra priveleges and etc., so....... he gets a really bad attitude and does the eye roll thing and huffs and puffs out of my room to his next class! I let this go( you have to choose your battles as a teacher I have learned) and went on with class. Later in the day he comes to me and apologizes for everything and tells me he understands that he needs to try to do the right thing and apologize to this child also!! These are the moments when I remember why I became a teacher!! Just had to share! I hope everyone has a great Valentine's Day tomorrow!!

P.S. Think about me, please!! I have 26 lovestruck sixth graders to control!!haha

New Furniture!

Dino and I have been debating over purchasing a new bed for almost a year and we finally did it! I can honestly say I would tell anyone to go ahead and purchase a King size bed!! It is really worth it! It was hard to take pics because the wood is dark , but here is one!

Hadley is Here!!

Our friends, Allison and Dennington, welcomed a new baby girl to their family this weekend! Hadley Dennington Moss arrived on February 1, 2008. She arrived at 5:27 p.m.She is 6 lbs. 15oz. and 19 inches long. Everyone is doing great and Ella and Landers are super excited about their new baby sister! We are so happy for them and we can't wait to spoil this one too!!

School Days...............

We had an exciting week at Portland Elementary! My Fifth graders are studying constellations this week so we did "tin foil" constellations Friday! They had some really good ones!! My Fourth graders, or "my babies" as I like to call them, get to bring a pet to school each week on Fridays and this week we had a visit from a pony named Prince! I am so glad that we have pretty weather finally!! I am going to get off this computer and go outside and enjoy it!! Have a Great Super Bowl Weekend!
