One of my school "kiddos"

Just have to share a family blog with all of you out there.....one of my sweet little ones has a superblogger for a mommy!  Here is a link to her blog:  www.jupinfamily.blogspot.com.  Their youngest child was born with Down Syndrome a year or so after we moved in next door.  Their other two children are the exact ages of my own children.  When their youngest was born, I never imagined teaching pre-k special ed again although I taught it over 10 years before being a stay-at-home mommy.  That all changed and I am SOOOOO happy where I am and believe God has a plan for me and I am thankful for Ben and all my other special angels at school.  I can't wait for the day they bring their new child, Davis home from Russia!  They are in the process of adopting a special needs child (hopefully this year!) who will also be in my class!!!  Look for pictures this week of the cute pennant banner Amy made for my classroom.....it's just like the one she made for Ben's room....soooo cute!!! (Thanks again Amy!)

New School Website.....LAUNCHED today!

WOO HOO!  I have a blog and a web site!  You can check out my school website by visiting this link:  http://mces.madisoncity.k12.al.us/?PageName=TeacherPage&Page=1&StaffID=145624&iSection=Teachers&CorrespondingID=145624

This is a picture from last school year of me & my 2 classroom paraprofessionals (Mrs. Cheryl & Mrs. Josie).  I can't believe teachers go back Aug. 2nd and the kiddos start Aug. 8th!  WOW.....summer is going, going, almost gone!!!

My own Arnie the Doughnut!

Mrs. Larremore posted about letter D activities and highlighted the book Arnie the Doughnut.  This book is a fav of our family because my son had to do a pumpkin book project and this is how it turned out!  We had a great time making it together!

Dr. Jean has a BLOG!!!

I was sooooo excited to see Dr. Jean in the blogging world! 
Visit her blog www.drjeanandfriends.blogspot.com and re-visit her web site www.drjean.org.  She has recently posted some FANTASTIC parent communication tips for the new school year.  I plan to use the monthly reading logs and activity calendars in my Communication Binder.

Summer is here!

Where did the school year go?....and the month of June??  Summer school ends tomorrow and we will have the month of July to rest up for the 2011-12 school year!  Rest up or get ready for....either way it's more time to prepare cute things for my room and indulge myself in the wonderful web-browsing that has become an addiction over the past month!!!   
I can't believe I (as of an hour ago) have a website & a blog.......so, I MUST stop with the stalking and get to updating on a regular basis!!
