Thinking … June 22, 2012

So much as been going on in my life this summer and it’s been so busy.
I have been working on creating a math journal that allows the students to work on the common core standards all year long. I started with the easier items and continued to the harder ones. I can’t wait to use it in the classroom. I really feel this practice each week will help the students with understanding the objectives and doing so on their own. The journal is almost finished!
I have also continued training to become a CASA. At this point, I am finished with all the training and will be sworn in on next week. Hopefully in July, I will get my first case and be on my way to helping a child(ren). Jayden and Billy will be able to come watch me be sworn in!!
My husband has built me one shelf for my classroom and is going to do another soon. (I hope) I have to get the paint or sealer to seal it so it will last longer. I have been watching and collecting more items for my classroom. I can’t wait to have my room all set up like an actual early childhood classroom!! While on the mission of gather new items, I have written 5 grants to try to help.
As if I need anything else to do, I recently signed up to sell Uppercase Living. I have fallen in love with this product. I would love to have more opportunities to sell to my friends and family. But Billy and I have been wanting some for our house, it was a better deal to sign up to sell. I can’t wait!!
Recently, I stated dieting – hardcore. I have lost 5 pounds as of 2 days ago. Trying to stay off the scale a few days so hopefully it’s more.
One of my dearest, closest friends has been in the hospital. Today, Jayden and I visited her. She looks wonderful!!! She will be able to go home next week!! God really has been watching over her during her 60+ days in the hospital.
Another of my dearest, closest friends has been moved as principal of one school to another. Not a move she wanted to make. There are reasons behind it happening; I hope she is able to find happiness in her new adventure. I pray that the students at her last school receive a principal at least half as good as she was. (she still is) I have so much respect for her as a principal and friend!!! Love ya Breeze!!
While all these wonderful things have happened, I have had sad moments too…. I try not to harp on those and remember that things happen for a reason. Everyone has sad moments. We must continue on with life and learn from those times.
