I'm Backkkkk!!!

I know I have been completely MIA lately, but I have been super busy.  Since the last time I blogged a lot has happened!

Lets fill-in shall we!

1. The Holidays:
Halloween
Funfetti Halloween cupcakes for the kids

Witch Hat cookies for the kids!

Yes I dressed up for school.  It was a costume day and I was told everyone dresses up.  FALSE.  I was the ONLY teacher that dressed up (by dressing up I guess they meant Halloween shirts or something...), but yeah I was the awesome 5th grade teacher that was Minnie Mouse and jumped in the jump-jump with the kids.  Fun day!

 Thanksgiving

Pilgrim hats for the kids (no peanut allergies in 5th grade)


Me and my brother Michael shopping at midnight on Black Friday!
Christmas 
The kids stocking!  I did the 12 days of Christmas and every morning when the kids came in they had a treat!  They LOVED it!

My tree in my classroom!

I got flowers at school!  (And oh fyi, you ever want to get 30-something 5th grades alllll excited, get flowers delivered to class, then they are all up in your business)

2. School:
School has been great!  I love my kids and I always have funny stories to tell!  Even though it is my first year teaching I feel at home.  I work with great people that are very supportive and I love going to work each day.  The year has flown by and only 20 more days left!  But in those 20 days we have a 5th grade picnic, 4 days of after school state test reviewing, 4 days of state testing, 5th grade field trip to Myrtle Beach, Wet-n-Wild Day, Field Day and 5th grade graduation. Its about to be busy!

Also, I have become OBSESSED with stalking reading other teachers blogs.  I hope mine can be like that soon!  I have a lot of things that I do in my classroom that I would like to share with others.  

3. Me
Since I have last blogged I have also been doing some things for my self. For one, I have lost weight.  A lot of weight.  To date I have lost 32.4 pounds.  I joined WeightWatchers in November and I have about 6 more pounds until I meet my goal with them, and I am wanting to meet my goal before summer break.  You can just go back and look at the pictures of me from this past summer until now and you can tell how much I have lost.  Dont worry, I will dedicate a whole blog post to this later!

Okay, well that kinda catches you up for now and I will be blogging again soon!
