Life as a Teacher......


Life as a teacher....I've decided I could pretty much write a book about my class and it would be on the best sellers list! Most likely as a comedy!! Today as my precious darlings were working so diligently on a phonics page, which is cutting and gluing letters to make CVC words, pig, fig, dig, using the short vowel helper i. At the end of this page is a sentence strip that they have to cut and glue words in order. ***Note here...I have the example up in front of them....One of my cuties comes up and brings her finished product. Not only were none of the CVC words placed in the proper order, her sentence was hilarious. There was a picture of a dog, and these words; a pit, dig, can. I can't even remember the sentence, but in the 3 squares she was suppose to place pig, or fit, or fig, was this......the picture of the dog, the p and the i. So I interpreted it as dog pee. It was funny at the time, and maybe you had to be there, or maybe you need to be a kinder teacher to get it, I don't know, maybe I am so tired anything is funny in my class. (So if you think it was a little funny let me know) Also, I will ask my kids to put their hands on their head if they hear me, or something like that, so today, I say, put your finger on your nose if you hear me. And of course, one has to put his finger IN his nose! AND of course without missing a beat, I say, NOT IN YOUR NOSE, on your nose. (That would be my spitter) Oh and on Friday, he hit someone, why I ask him? Oh, I don't want him to sit by me. Well, that will do it! OH I NEED and am ready for spring vacation!!! Let's see....13 school days left! I can do this, can't I????

Hello lady! How are you? How is Bishop Stokes? So remember the Olivas'? I ran into Joey Olivas, the oldest son. He lives in the subdivision next to mine. They moved here is December and just put him in the High Counsil. Is that awsome or what... He's been in the Bishopric for the last three years in St. George. It is so great to see people change for the better. He has a beautiful family. I would have loved to have John as my Bishop. *Oh wait... I did have a John as my Bishop, and my dad. lol. I hope you are well. I miss ya.
