Collection Fair

Today all the 1st graders showed off their collections at school. Reece was so excited. She was up an hour early and could not wait to get to school. Each student had a booklet that they made in computer lab. Inside the booklet they had a diagram with labels, a story about their collection and something else they wrote about, ie...a story.

As you can see and probably guess if you know Reece, she showed off her collection of Littlest Pet Shops, with the help of her dad and I making the display shelves. I wish I had a picture of her face when the other classes came to look at all the collections. She was really nervous when some of the girls started playing with the pets!!!!

I was really impressed with all the students collections. Some had toys, books, coins, rocks, shells, stamps, pins, ribbons and bottle caps. I thought they all did a great job since they had to stand by their collection for 1 1/2 hours to answer questions that students and teachers asked.


Tip of the day: Read everything that comes home from school, you never know what information you might need to know.

A Message?

I found this sign taped to my bedroom door. Is it a reminder or a message?
Look closely and read it out loud.
It reads, "March 29 Reece is Birthday".


Tip of the day: Remember that it does not rain all 365 days of the year in the NW.

Girlfriends

I think back to when I was a kid and thank God that I was well behaved. My parents had a lot to do with it, but I believe my friends did too. I went out with them last night and realized that each one helped the others make good decisions and supported us when we didn't.
Thanks to my parents and peeps for helping me grow into what I have become. I hope you are all proud.


Tip of the day: Read,Read,and READ some more.

Proud Mom

This long President's weekend one word describes me best: PROUD.
Yes, I am a mom and I am very proud of my children, but lately things have been really tough with school and attitudes. A report card came home, friendships have been renewed and basketball has sunk in.

Looking forward to more proud moments in the near future.

Tip of the day: Never do anything or say anything you do not want the whole city to know about. (it wasn't me, just things I have heard about others around here)

A New Day and A New Attitude

A new outfit for a fun day at school. Reece has seemed to turn over a new leaf with her attitude towards school, at lease for today. YEAH!

Amazing

It really is amazing what a difference silence can do in any situation!


Tip of the day:Go with your gut...99% of time, it is correct.

Movies

Watched two movies this weekend, Twilight and Safe House, both worth watching.


Tip of the day: buy your Valentine's Day cards early, not the day before.
