Crazy

WOW!! Things have been crazy since coming back from Mardi Gras break, I am still running back and forth with my daughter in the hospital, but yeah good news, she is improving and doing so much better, BEWARE OF MEDCINE- her first doctor had her on too much medicine and it was doing more harm than good, making her more depressed and angry. SO of course I am switching doctors, but also grateful for the one she has in the hopsital right now.

Back to school , I have decided to work on another masters degree, I have one in early childhood, but I want to learn more about psychology) to help prevent things like what happened to my daughter, I would like to catch it before it turns into a suicide attempt. I started this semster taking two night classes and I am loving them, I am learning things that help when her doctors speak to me, I have heard the terminology and can understand a little of what is going on. I had my first test online last night and made an "A" so proud of myself with everything going on.

Well as for as myself I joined the Girls On the Run team at school to help out as a coach. I am just getting into the gym myself so I thought this would help motivate me. I know I am rampling on tonight, but I have to VENT somewhere. I am not a good runner, I was a smoker but on September 17,  2012 I quit, so that make 5 months smoke free. I am hoping that will help with my running , now if I could just start to lose weight, but with the stress in my life I feel that is such a hard task, but that is my goal this week , and it is to just try. I guess I better post are I will wind up writing a book tonight LOL-

Well tomorrow is going to a bad stormy day for us, so it will be inside and gloomy for my kindergarteners, I need to think of some fun inside things to do for tomorrow. Any ideas please send them my way

Freebie

I just added a new freebie to my TPT store, please be sure to check it out here

Happy Valentine's Day

Well even though we are off of school for Mardi Gras break, I would still love to send out a Happy Valentine's Day to everyone I will be traveling to see my daughter today while she is still in the hospital for Valentine's Day. Thanks to everyone for the prayers especially when you dont even know what is going on. You guys are the best. I love how teachers stick together. My daughter is a 15 year old beautiful teenager that let bullys get the best of her, and tried to end her life. She is getting the help she needs and is now learning to stand up for herself. If I can say anything about what I have learned through all of this, as teachers and mothers we need to stop the teasing and picking on each other while they are young, I see it in kindergarten. This way when they are teenagers they dont have to go through what my family is going through. I also finished my Dolch sight words set, you can check it at here at my store http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Dolch-Pre-Primer-Sight-Word-Packet

Mardi Gras

First I would like to thank you out there that has been saying prayers for my family and my daughter. I been driving back and forth to the hospital every other day. The hospital is 2 hours away from my home. We are on Mardi Gras break so this week is easier to not have to work all day and then drive after work like I have been doing.  I would like to share what I did with my students last week.

We had to teach Louisiana, Mardi Gras, and Valentines all before the holidays. So Friday was a little crazy, we were exchanging our Valentine's . Celebrating the letter Hh, Dd, and Rr with Hot Dogs and Relish . And last decorating King Cakes. Our local stores make the small ones for us to purchase and the children put the icing and sprinkles and decorate while playing Mardi Gras music in the classroom they kids just loved it.

Here are some pictures of some of the king cakes.

As you can see they were huge king cakes that they kids had to take home in zip lock bags.
Well I am almost finished working on my DOLCH SIGH WORD PACKET , please follow me so you can see when it comes out.
