My first swap package is in the mail...hee,hee,heeeee! This is fun!

I had my second observation/evaluation done yesterday and everything was great. The lesson went like a dream, all the kids were well-behaved, everything worked!
Here is a pic of me and my son on the first day of school! (Kind of late, LOL!)

Sunday

Well, that was the week that was. School was busy, home was busy, and this weekend was busy. Hopefully, today, I can sit for a stretch and "hook".

Yesterday we took the little boys down to the Sports Show at the auditorium and it was disapointing. A few good boats, way too many booths about fishing trips, and hardly any RV's. We then dropped by a favorite park and let them run around for awhile. It was chilly though, only 31 degrees, but they found a few freinds to run with so the cold didn't get to them for a bit.

the boys and I also stopped at the library and picked up a few books and I put an amigurimi book on hold for me. It should be here in a couple of days.

I did finish this scarf from Mr. Funky's book:



A close up of the flower, which is knid of neat because it can slide up and down the scarf wherever you want it.

Back to School

Back to a full day of teaching today! It was tiring, but I think pretty rewarding. the kids seemed happy to see me and eager to participate. I did have good, full lesson plans written out and we kept up a brisk pace.

I've started a couple of projects, but I can't share them yet. They might be going to my swap partner.

My first from the "Mr. Funky" book:




I had fun making this one especially the little dress!

I just got my Swap Swap Gals partnes from Lesa and am excited about being a part of a swap group for the first time.

I went back to work on Friday. We didn't have students, it was just a work day for us teachers. I got tons of things done: report cards, lesson plans, materials copied, posters made etc.
