Well summer will be officially over in just a few hours. My room is ready and I am in lesson planning mode. This is my fourth year at my school and this year my fourth and fifth graders will be completing a classroom dictionary sheet on their first day of music. I want to create a chance to better connect with them as I only see them every six days. After they fill out the dictionary sheet each child will get a scavenger hunt sheet. There questions about our rules, tempo markings (posted on the wall), who the composer of the month is (Saint-Saens) etc. If it is posted, I want them to find it and know where it is, so that they are ready to go when the time comes for them to need to use the information. I will post pictures of the room soon! I hope you all have a great start to the school year! Good luck, and don't forget to pack your patience!

A wonderful summer!!!!
This summer was one for the record books for me! In my last post I let all of you know that I graduated with my Master's in Education, and that meant that this summer I didn't have to go to summer school!
So, I pounced on the opportunity and went into mommy mode!
We went to Vacation Bible School. I went twice, and Parker went three times!
We watched our oldest graduate from high school! So very proud of you Zach!
We had our first summer with a teenage driver in the house and she is doing a great job, and blossoming into a wonderful young lady! Love that Mickey!
Logan came to visit for six weeks, and we had a lot of fun talking about sports cars, guns, toads, hunting and all things boy! Let me tell you that I am not used to it, but I did my best.
Parker lost her first top front tooth, and has almost mastered riding her bike without training wheels!
Tom has a new shift at work, and will be home with us every night now for dinner!
The Lord is so very good to us!
Now we do live in Texas, and let me tell you it is HOT! But we are still here, and having a great time!
I have started working on things for this school year, and am excited about the new ideas I have! I will post about them as soon as they are completed and I have taken pictures of them! Very excited!
I only have three more days of summer left, and I plan to swim every evening! I will miss summer 2012! But this year will be full of new family memories! I am ready to jump in, and watch my family take it on!
