Today was my last of my practicum. I am going to miss the kids becasue they are so cute and fun to be around. I had a wonderful experience there and learned so much from my cooperating teacher and the students. One of the students gave me this hat! I can’t wait to go to kindergarten but will be excited to see these kids again.

When I got home from work these beautiful flowers were in my room! I stayed two hours later today at school then usual. So, this was a nice surprise!
Valentine’s Decorations!
Saturday, January 21st, 2006
I love my pink Christmas tree, and so I decided to make it a Valentine’s Day tree! Today Jen (Gabe’s Mom) gave me the idea to make my own ornaments for it instead of buying them. I thought that was a great idea and had that be my project for the day. I am happy with how they turned out! Below are some up close.
Look at this cutie!

I’m really Ms. Johnson this time
Saturday, January 7th, 2006I have been student teaching for 3 days now. All three days have gone well. I am in the special education fifth grade classroom. The first week back we have been helping the students complete work that was due before winter break. I enjoy helping them do work. Next week Mrs. Williams, the special ed. teacher, will begin teaching lessons again. I will also teach two lessons. This will be my first time to teach a lesson by myself, so I am nervous. The students are not always in the resource room (another name for the special ed. room). I have been roaming the other four fifth grade classrooms a lot watching the teachers teach. I hope I do not have to do this the whole time I am a student teacher because I think that will get old after nine weeks.
Winter’s Tale
Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006A book my parents gave me for Christmas was Winter’s Tale (underline that) by Robert Sabuda. He has made many amazing pop-up books. This book he wrote and created himself. The last page of this book is a house with real blinking lights!! It is so cool.
Pink Christmas
Monday, January 2nd, 2006
Scott & I met Travis and Rachel at the airport with balloons on the 21st.
We believe in Santa! This picture was taken right before we opened presents on Christmas night.
For some reason my computer is slow, so all of the pictures I wanted to share are not up. I had a great Christmas break. Today Travis and Rachel left and I am a little sad but that is how it goes.

Lindsay and I spent New Year’s together babysitting. It was fun seeing her!!
Tonight we went to Jack Stack to say bye to T&R.
In 182 days it will be our wedding day!! Yippee! My mom baked a delicious cake and Rachel decorated it. They really surprised Scott and I!! The Lambles came over after Jack Stack and we all ate cookie cake. We had a great night but I am sad that Travis and Rachel are leaving tomorrow morning. =(
