More Christmas Craft Photo

Handprint Christmas trees.....

We have had a whirlwind of a week at school. Monday and Tuesday, we had a 2 hr delay. That left us with an hour and 20 minutes of class time. Not so good at Christmas when mothers are wanting precious crafts. But we are working hard to make up for lost time. Here are a few of the children's creations.

We have Christmas lights around our doorway.....

Our stockings are hung.....

Preparing For the Holidays

Thanksgiving went by so quickly! I was at Walmart by 9:45 that night preparing for the big Black Friday Sale. What chaos!!! I had fun though. My husband and I tackled the mall on Black Friday morning and got quite a few bargins for ourselves.

Saturday, we got our Christmas tree put up and all the stockings for the pups hung. There are way too many stockings!! LOL

Then on Sunday, we went to spend the afternoon with grandmother. She just lights up when I walk in the room. She is so lonely and I hate not being there for her more during this time of year, but I am so busy with work and getting things ready for the preschoolers parents for Christmas.

Today, we ended up having a 2 hr. delay so we only had an hour and a half of school. I had a total of five students. So, we didn't get much done. Tomorrow, we have another 2 hr. delay. There isn't even any snow left on the ground and they are delaying school. They'd never survive living in West Virginia!

Well, I'm think I'm going to start working on my Christmas cards. At least those for my preschoolers. Stay warm!

Turkey Time!

M,W,F class

We had a blast this week at school. The kids performed a few "turkey" songs for their parents and we enjoyed the Thanksgiving Blessing Mix together. I may be partial, but my class did the best job ever!!! Here are a few photo's of them in their little turkey hats.

Tu/Thurs Class

Hope that everyone has a safe and blessed Thanksgiving!!! I'll be out late Thursday night getting ready to fight the Black Friday crowds. Fun, fun!

A Little Late...

I know that Halloween has come and gone already, but I wanted to share a few things with you that my students crafted. We had a great time celebrating with our "fall parties." The kids dressed up in their little costumes and we watched "It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown".

Spider Webs that the children created using glue, glitter and wax paper

Things have been really busy since Thanksgiving is next week. Between spending all my time with my grandmother on the week-ends, I hardly have enough time to get on and post. I'll try to do better (I think I'm always saying that!) LOL For now.......

Our spider webs

One of our Thanksgiving Crafts. The kids painted the feathers and the arms and legs are movable!

Fall Creations

Our Squirrels and Little Acorn Trees

Here are a few sweet pieces of art that the kids have done during the past few weeks. Our door is "Falling For Jesus". The kids marble painted the leaves and they have their pictures in doily leaves that I purchased at the Dollar Tree. I can't wait to get started on Halloween crafts next week!

We did a unit on learning to cough and sneeze in our elbow or a tissue......it was awesome!! Afterward, we made these cute little faces to remind us.

It's Been A While...

House and Jasper

Wow! Seems like forever since I blogged last. I've been so busy with work and family that I haven't had a chance to write anything. The summer went by so quickly. I'm loving the fall weather though.

Renesmee, Bella and Jasper

Since I blogged last, we have had 3 new family members to add to our pack around here. On June 5th Mama gave birth to Bella, Jasper and Renesmee. They are so precious that we decided to keep them all! I hope you enjoy the photo's. I promise to do better at updating this site! :o)

Eclipse: Love Is Forever Video

As most of you know, I am a major Twilight addict anymore. Once I began reading the books, I realized just what an amazing author Stephenie Myers truly is. The movies were great....but the books are beyond that. My husband thinks I've lost it because I've went so "twicrazy"! :o) I can't wait until the Eclipse premiere June 30th!!! Here is Muse's new video from the Twilight:Eclipse soundtrack. Another amazing song!

Muse - New Music - More Music Videos

Life Is At Full Swing

Wow! Two more weeks and the school year is over! It has flown by. I have been focused on nothing but getting end of the year projects done for my students. I am really looking forward to just kicking back and spending some time scrapbooking over the summer. I have a ton to catch up on and I'm excited about it.

My sweet husband has been working longer hours the past few weeks so that has given be even more alone time. The boys have been busy with tennis, baseball and scouting. They are just growing up too fast!!!!!

Brandon Baseball

Hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful sunshine out there!

Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head.....

Wow! It's been a busy month at school. It seems like just yesterday we started and in less than a month we'll be saying good-bye to our sweet kiddo's. Of course, I'll still see them in the hallways, but it's still bittersweet.

I just had to share our raindrops that the kids painted last month. We had hung them from the ceiling in the classroom. Of course, the kids love seeing their photo's anywhere. Here are just a few...

Jon Voight's Letter to President Obama

Governor Huckabee had Jon Voight on his show, Huckabee, which airs on FOX News every Saturday night at 8 p.m. This interview was powerful and stunning!! It is comforting to know as a conservative republican that I have someone willing to speak up and not be afraid to use their voice to speak up for the American people.

A Letter To President Obama From Jon Voight

A LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FROM JON VOIGHT

0 4-11-2010 7:44 pm - Jon Voight

Below is the text of the letter:-----------------------------------------

“In one year, the American people are witnessing the greatest lie that is cleverly orchestrated by President Obama and his whole administration. The lie is a potent aggression that feeds the needs of people who either have not educated themselves enough to understand the assault upon us all or the very poor and needy who live to be taken care of.President Obama feeds these people poison, giving them the idea that they are entitled to take from the wealthier who have lived and worked in a democracy that understands that capitalism is the only truth that keeps a nation healthy and fed. Now the lie goes very deep and President Obama has been cleverly trained in the Alinsky method and it would be very important that every American knows what that method is. It is a socialistic, Marxist teaching and with it, little by little, he rapes this nation, taking down our defenses, making new language for the Islamic extremists. The world looked up to us as a symbol of hope and prosperity now wonders what will become of the entire world if America is losing its power. The American people who understand exactly what is taking place have come together in the thousands, vowing to try to stay together as a unit of love and freedom for all men and women, from all walks of life, shivering to think that this once great nation will be a third world country. This will be the first president to ever weaken the United States of America. President Obama uses his aggression and arrogance for his own agenda, against the will of the American people when he should be using his will and aggression against our enemies. Every loving American for peace and truth and the security of our nation must come out and join the Tea Parties in their states. The opposition will continue their tactics; they will lie and plant their own bullies amongst us. Everyone must pay close attention to who stands next to them. We can weed out the liars and agitators. Let us all stay in Gods light. Let no man put asunder. We can and we will prevail.

God bless us all!”
