I'm Finally Finished

I though I would be the happiest person alive to be finished student teaching, but its a little bit bitter sweet. I will miss my crazy third graders! I have become a much stronger person and better teacher because of this experience and I am truly thankful.

Here are the five surviving student teachers of Washington Elementary.
I can not believe its already over. There were a few times I wanted to quit and I really didn't think I would make it through, but I persevered. On Friday when I said my goodbye to my class I was very sad and of course I was crying. These kids are amazing and I love each one of them. They taught me a lot in so many different ways. They each wrote me a letter saying thank you and how much they will miss me. That was such a great gift from them.

Here I am with My site teacher Ms. Brown

My wonderful Class!!!!

Jabber Box/ Dyson 16 Months

Our Sweet Boy is growing up! He is a non stop talker. Half the time you can't understand what he is saying, but it's so cute. He is even talking in sentances and it is so fun to understand whats going on in that mind of his.
Dyson loves to get Daddy's hat and wear it.




Dyson Loves to copy Dad , so he gets pop cans out of the fridge and pretends to drink them.

He loves ELMO and gives him kisses! Adorable:)

Valentines Weekend/ Dyson 16 Months

Derrek and I went on our valentines date Friday night and my Dad watched Dyson it was so much fun.

Derrek helped Dyson with a valentine SURPRISE for me!!

Dyson always sleeps with his arms up it is soo cute.

On Saturday we took Dyson out for his Valentines Day activity!! We took him to the Clark Planetarium. We watched 3D Under The SEA. Dyson really liked the movie at first but could not sit for that long. But he loved the atmosphere and being there.

After the movie we got to explore:)

Dyson had so much fun exploring and playing around on the different planets!

Happy Valentines Derrek and Dyson, I love my 2 boys soooooo much!!

Student Teaching

These kids are great! I have so much fun with them. But let me tell you it is HARD WORK!!! I have many students that have a hard family life and you can tell the second you walk into the classroom. There are many days where I really want to strangle them. In the end it is all worth it when they actually start to make progress. I only have 8 weeks left I can't believe it. It truly is going by fast.

I know this pic is bad but it is the only one I have. It is from the beginning of the year so we have about four students not in this picture and about four that have moved.

Superbowl/ Dyson 16 Months

Dyson Is a COWBOYS fan!! To bad they didn't make it to the Superbowl.
We went to Dani and Clayton's to watch the game:)

Dyson LOVES Guitar Hero!!!

The boys played before, at half time, and after.

Dyson is a super good drummer.

Me and Dani

Dyson was ready for bed after that long game!

New Years Eve/ Dyson 15 Months

On New Years Eve we hung out with Jordon, Megan and Dayton & JD and Jen. We went to dinner and then played games all night. We had a blast!

Dayton and Dyson they are 1 year apart.

Me, Jen and Megan

Jordon, Derrek and JD

They are such goofballs.

Happy New YEAR!!

Jammie Boys/ Dyson 14 Months

We got to hang out with some of our best friends Arica and Bo while they were up for christmas!! It was so much fun. We can't wait until they move back:)

They were over pretty late so the boys got their jammies on. They were so cute posing for the camera.

Merry Christmas!!/ Dyson 14 Months

Santa Probably ran out of presents when he came to our house because he left them all here.
Dyson was so excited because he got LIVE interactive Elmo ( he tells stories, jokes and everything you can imagine), a computer/ Nintendo game and lots more.

First we went to my Moms for breakfast. We had our traditional breakfast, banana crapes. Yum!

We then went to Grandpa Richards for lunch.

Dyson just wanted to play with the crab and not eat it.

Then we went to Grandpa Seipert's for dinner. Every time we go over there Dyson gets pickles his favorite thing, so he loves it!

Dyson got a singing car which is now his new favorite thing!

Christmas is always a long day but it is so much fun and we love it. We hope you all had a great Christmas!
