Day 27: Last Day of School! SUMMERTIME

Today was the last day of school, did I say that clear enough?  TODAY    WAS   THE   LAST   DAY  OF  SCHOOOL!  Teachers definatly are not as excited as the kids for summer...  It is well deserved and I'm so excited to finally be able to relax!  I'm ready for sunny days and no night activities and no take home grading and no stressing about kids!  Just a little, but much less! :) 

I'm ready for the sun.
I'm ready for a quiet alarm.
I'm ready for no alarm.
I'm ready for home made lunches.
I'm ready for vacations.
I'm ready to wear jeans whenever I want!
I'm ready for fun with friends.
I'm ready for no curfew.
I'm ready for SUMMER.

We had a great ALL OUT NEON dance at the end of school.  It was in a teachers classroom, it was really awesome!  Smelled bad, but what do you expect wiht a bunch of middle school students.... eugh!   I checked out of school at apx. 2 o clock.  Headed home, took a nap, go up and dressed, ready for 8th grade Promotion.  It was so fun! I took a bunch of pictures and then after graduation saw my kids take a bunch of pictures.  One of my students, Fernando, asked if he could take a picture with me and his Chilian friends.  I said sure! are you an international star?  or are they?  He's like, "They are just foreign exchange students that I know."  So I am going to be internationally famous bc the Chilians took a picture with just me too. Haha! 

Best part of the night... wait the WORST part of the night.  I LOST MY Camera!  I took a bunch of pictures and now I can't find my camera.  But I will look tomorrow and see if I can find it and show you all my students.  I am bitter sweet about this 8th grade class.  Yes they will move on to bigger and better, but they really have grown on me and I kinda like them now!  I'm excited for a new year in August though.  New Beginnings!

Day 25 and 26: My computer was dead...

My computer died yesterday before I went to bed, so I couldn't write my post.  I left my cord in Utah almost a month ago and have been borrowing Suzi's cord.  But last night, it was out of my reach.  So I'm combining and calling it good! :)  Yesterday was Tuesday....  nothing too eventful. I was sick at school, thought I might pass out driving home, made it, slept most of the afternoon, went with Hagen to watch Juan play volleyball for a bit. Came home, ate chatted, then went to bed.  It was alright, I like hanging with my friends so it was good, but extremely uneventful.

Today I finished inventory of my classroom! Great feeling, and I took all of my poster down, cleaned off my desk.  I'm ready to go!  Tomorrow I have to print off my grades, type and print my inventory, then checkout.  What a great day!  I also have 8th grade promotion tomorrow night.  It should be fun as they decided when they stand as rows to get their promotion papers, they will do the wave.  Haha, way to make mom and dad so proud! :)  I'm excited. I wish I had pictures to share, but for some reason they won't upload to my computer.  I'm so excited to usher this class out and welcome in a new class!  Some of them I will miss, but it's been 3 years and I'm happy to pass them along!

I attended institute tonight because I can't go tomorrow.  I liked my class, Understanding Isaiah.  Maybe because I'm free all summer, I'll attend both classes!  I'm so excited for tomorrow!!

Day 24: Eugh Day.... but I did 3 post in one day! Read them all!

Today was an Eugh day... but the upside!  I had a kitten in my room all day!  One of my students had a kitten at home.  Unbeknown to her, it crawled inside the truck engine and rode to school.  Another student found it in the parking lot, so we brought her into my room and dried her off and played all day! 


Well, my 7th graders let her roam around the room freely and they still did their lessons.  That was amazing of them because it is the last week of school!  But... 8th grade is always a different story.  They held her and passed her around the room and wouldn't leave her alone! I tried putting her in her box, but she annoyingly meowed the whole time so I had to get her out.  The kids were pretty good for the most part.  It was fun and I'm glad the last week of school or else I wouldn't have been able to let that happen!!



Tonight for FHE we had a service auction. Usually when we do this, I play Vanna White, but I asked another girl to take my place due to the eugh day and not feeling very well.  Top it off, COLD SORE.  Fhe was fine, saw a bunch of friends and had a relaxing night for the most part.  A bunch of us decided to watch Sherlock Holmes, which I'm missing due to updating my blog...  Better get watching! Until tomorrow....

Day 23: Church and BYODessert

Church... well, I still am not feeling the best and my alarm didn't go off.  So sadly enough, I missed the first part of church. Sacrament was really good.  Institute spoke to us, my friend Hagen spoke.  That was great because I was making hearts to him with my hands and Suzi was helping, then the bishop saw us so we decided to stop.  It was too great!  But maybe a little juvenile.  After church, I went with my cousin Miranda down to Idaho Falls.  She drove down from Cardston, Alberta, and I went with her to our aunts house for lunch.  Suzi came too, of course we are inseparable.  Us three girls had a blast!  Well, we told great stories, had super yummy Hawaiian haystacks, shocked my aunts by stories of my dad... oops.  Good times.  It was fun to see Miranda and build a friendship with her.  She is so much younger than me, her older brother, Jordan, is my bestie...  6 months to the day older than Sabrina and I.  When we were younger, we were the triplets.  We did everything together!
 

Afterwards, I got ready for BYOD.  Which stands for, Bring Your Own Dessert.  We decided to help some friends out by hosting this week.  It was a huge success, Suzi has pictures that I will share tomorrow.  We had a ton of fun and lots of people came too! :)  Yay for yummy food.  I made Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp.  So good, I didn't want to share!!
