One of those days...

This morning we had Spring pictures and class portraits. I should have known from the beginning it would be a long day...It didn't start out that bad but the talking was just crazy!!! I stopped centers 40 minutes early so we could practice what centers are supposed to look and sound like. By lunch time I was in dire need of fresh air and praise music turned loud. I left school, rolled down my windows and decided on Chick-fil-a. I sat in line for a good 25-30 minutes (it was lunch) only to get to the window and realize my wallet was in my desk drawer!!! I am starving. I came back. Ate some animal crackers and some Ritz (stolen from my snack drawer). I am leaving now and going to eat my arm and leg. : ) Praying that tomorrow will be a better day...

Hope yall had a wonderful Tuesday!!

Millions

Today I introduced rocks. I was reading a big book called "Remarkable Rocks" it starts out by saying that rocks are MILLIONS of years old. So 6 and 7 year olds have no concept of age and so I asked them how old are they? They answer in unison. I continue on and ask them do they think they are even CLOSE to a million? They say NOOO!! I say do you think Mrs. knight is close to a million? YESSS!!! Great...I am no longer 23, I am almost a million. haha oh the joy of 1st graders.

All to Him I Owe

to start your week off right... remember this simple thing. Jesus Paid it ALL.

Needs and Wants

So we are learning about Natural Resources and how the world provides our needs (food, shelter, water). We are sitting in community circle yesterday and I am trying to get them to tell me the three most important things you need to live. I, of course, get food, water and then little M (the same chubby boy about calories) says "Mrs. Knight, Mrs. Knight, I know I know!!! GOD!" love it. I made it work by saying that God made all of these things. I talked about snow and what would you do if it were snowing? Would you stay in the wonderful snow God created or go "inside" with the emphasis on inside...got shelter with that one : )

Team Hardy

This past weekend we had a little Hardy reunion. Justin is still gone and my mom and sister had Monday off so we decided to have a get together. Dad and Jessica hadn't seen the house and what a better weekend to come see it! Also, my birthday was last Wednesday and Justin was gone so I had a pretty lame birthday and they wanted to come celebrate. Jessica & Mom came up on Saturday morning and we went to lunch and shopping to Target. Later that afternoon, Dad came and we all played Wii sports and Wii Fit Plus (my other birthday present). Dad was really good as you can see by the pictures. : ) We also got a cookie cake and sang happy birthday. : ) Sunday we got up and went to church. I love our church. Chris is just such an amazing pastor. He isn't afraid to tell you how it is regardless of what others may say about him or the church. I just love it! I love leaving knowing I've started my week off right. But my favorite part of the weekend was just this...Before long, Dad had to head back to Kingwood cause he had to work on Monday so it was back to just the three of us. We lounged around and played some more Wii. Monday morning we got up and headed to school to show Jessica my classroom before they both left to head home. I spent the rest of the day doing laundry, cleaning up and getting ready for my week. Justin should be home on Wednesday. I can hardly wait.

P.S. Jessica may claim to not like Pip, but Pip doesn't take long to win over even his biggest foes. : )
