Winter Storm

The weather forecasters have been predicting "the biggest winter storm since 1986." Well, I am not quite sure I agree but we'll certainly take what we can get. Rarely ever do we get to enjoy true "snow days" but we are fortunate enough today to have one. Yesterday we had a 2-hour late start because of ice but today they canceled school because of the "Winter Storm" we are having. I know, I know, all of you that live in places that get multiple feet of snow each year are probably laughing at us but we are definitely enjoying playing in the snow. Here are a few pictures of our adventures over that past few days.

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year!!

2012 is going to be a GREAT year! I just know it. We kicked it off again this year with the Diddy's and of course we had a blast! While we were waiting to get picked up, Khylee decided she wanted to have a photoshoot with my new camera. (Photo shoot meaning she would take pictures of ME...). It was fun and she really enjoyed it.

This year Khylee will be 7!! I can't believe my baby will be SEVEN in less than a month!!! Where has the time gone? She is such a sweet girl and I am loving this age. She is doing so well learning to read! She loves math and does not really like to write. Ha ha! This might be because I am her writing teacher. She loves to come to my classroom but it is hard for her to remember I am also her teacher. (And sometimes for me too)!

I am really enjoying my current postion this year. I moved schools at the beginning of this year and have truly been welcomed by my new staff. I am the Primary Learning Specialist and I teach first and second grade writing part time and I also do a job share in fourth grade one day a week. I love every part of my job. I am so blessed to have been given the opportunities that I have in my career.

I started my Master's program the end of October and I am loving it. I am currently in my second class. I am actually able to apply the information I am learning to my teaching and with my colleagues. I look forward to accomplishing this huge achievement!!

There are so many things I want to accomplish this year. I started making a list of 30 things I want to accomplish before I turn the big 3-0! I have a little less than 6 months and I don't quite have 30 but I definitely have so good ideas.
