A School Assignment!

For my INST 4015 class, we were asked to post to our blogs about the different educational blogs that we would enjoy following and something we liked about each one.  So if you will bear with me, I will do just that! 
One of the blogs that I liked was http://www.2mgems.blogspot.com/ as it gave quite a few details on the classroom projects and they gave me some springboard ideas for my future classroom.  The next on that I enjoyed was http://room9nelsoncentral.blogspot.com/.  This blog gave me ideas for integrating technology into the classroom for students to participate with it.  The third one that I found interesting was http://classblogmeister.com/blog.php?blogger_id=1337 for it's ideas of how to share the information learned in the classroom with others.  I learned a lot in this assignment and hope to be able to keep following these and others as I make the education journey, now through retirement!  Thanks for humoring me!

Our Little Family

Just an Update on Us!

I finished spring semester with flying colors (4.0) much to my surprise and relief!  The Lord surely blesses us everyday!  I got a whopping 4 days break and am in the first half of the summer semester of classes.  This summer I am signed up for 16 credit hours broken into the two summer halves.  I will have to spend a week in Price for a class that was not offered down here.  I can see a glow at the end of the tunnel with school!  I will be student teaching come January and will graduate if all goes right in the spring with my ELED degree and an ESL endorsement.  My family have all been a great support to me and I thank them for that!  I am the primary chorister for our ward and love teaching the kids about music and how it draws us closer to the Lord. 

Mekayla is finishing third grade next week and is 9 years old.  She is a blessing to have in our family and is the "2nd mommy" around here.  She is such a great help and for the most part likes helping out!  She is developing her artistic talents and is doing great!

Tepaynga is finishing 1st grade and has excelled all year that the top of her class.  She is 7 years old and is looking forward to being baptized in October.  She and her sister are the either the best of friends or worst of enemies, but they both love to be creative and make our home a fun place to be! 

 Dallin is such a sweet boy most days at 3 years old and loves to help me around the house.  He is the man of the house afterall!  We do preschool together here at home and he loves it and reminds me if we get busy that we need to do it!

Kaydan is such a joy to have around, but a handful at the same time at nearly 19 months.  He is such a busy little boy, but he can melt your heart in a second!  He keeps us on our toes and is learning to talk and do all the things big kids do as he catches on to things in record time!

 
 There are always challenges in our lives, but we know that we couldn't do anything without the Lord right by our side the whole time!  We have been truly blessed and see it in our lives everyday!  Thanks to all you who are some of those blessings!  What a joy you are to us!
