I AM....

During my third grade assignment I had my students create a poem. The title of the poem was I am. They were so fun...the kids did a brilliant job. We had a template that told us what type of thing to write for each line...for example: characteristics of yourself, something imaginary, something real....etc.

I kept one of my students because I loved it so much.....it made me laugh histerically...the spelling in it makes it a little hard to figure out...but even funnier once you get what he was saying. I am going to type it just as he did! ENJOY!

So, this particular student did not quite get the activity nor did he follow directions...but for him...he did his best, and boy did it make me smile!

Mississippi Avenue

On a recent trip to Beverly Hills...and drive down the back roads of the city, I drove past Mississippi Avenue and had to stop for a photo. Who knew??? A little piece of home thousands of miles away from home brought the biggest smile to my face!

PRAYER REQUEST: ON SATURDAY JUNE 28TH, I AM TAKING 3 TESTS KNOWN AS THE CTEL. IT IS TO CERTIFY ME TO TEACH ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS (STUDENTS WHOSE FIRST LANGUAGE IS NOT ENGLISH)...SO PLEASE, PRAY I PASS IT.

**UPDATE** MY VERY GOOD AND RESPONSIBLE FRIEND, JENNIFER REMINDED ME THAT THIS IS A DEADLY GAME AND A HUGE CHOKING HAZZARD. I KNEW THIS BEFORE PLAYING AND TOLD EACH GIRL THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO CHOKE OR DIE. BUT, INCASE THERE IS A SMALL CHILD WATCHING....DO NOT PLAY THIS AT HOME OR ANYWHERE FOR THAT MATTER.


So, I know it has been forever since I last blogged. I am sorry. I miss it. One more day till my official Summer break, and the blogs will be back to normal. For now, here are some funny and a tad embarrassing videos of some of the greatest girls I know. We look or act like we could have been drinking....but there was nothing but sweet tea in our system! Video number three was shot the day after 1 and 2....and the battery died mid shoot.
