Happy Feet

So this is the last week of school and the kiddos are a little nuts! It's fun though. Today was Kinders and ECE continuation. I planned a big music program with the kinders and all but ran the entire thing- yay for incompetent kindergarten teachers! My kids did sooooooo good, I was so proud of them. Just imagine 75 little bodies on risers singing "This Little Light of Mine" (which f course I had made a candle with gold glitter for every kid to hold!) So precious¡
Tomorrow I get to go to the zoo with my third grade newcomer class- I am really looking forward to being with them. Most of them have never been to a real zoo before in their life. Although some of them are straight from Africa and saw these animals in the wild:)
So, today with my first graders we did a little freeze dance (their favorite) at the end of the class. I have a little boy, Leo, who has never really danced but bobbed so that it would be easier to freeze. When I put on a new song I guess he really liked it and he busted his move- I was lucky to get some of it on my camera. Hope you think he is as cute as I do!

Been A While

Si it's been two months almost to the day since I last posted and a lot has happened :)
My brother McKay came home from his mission in South Africa in April. After two years and three hours in the airport we were sooooooo excited to see him. Of course we shipped him right of to BYUI!
My last choir concert was May 12th, and after a LOT of freaking out and worrying about my ensemble they pulled through for me! There were 13 students who did not show up for our concert that evening (the little poops!) but my kids really did an outstanding job, being pre-teens and all, hehe. Joyce came and suffered through the choir and 3 bands in an auditorium with no air conditioning! THANKS!!!
Talmage has officially been accepted to Metro State and we are moving forward to get him enrolled for the fall semester. I am so excited for him. I think he's pretty nervous about diving back into school, but I know he'll be awesome at it!
We have one of Talmage's co-workers, Cal, living with us at the moment. He was not in a good living situation so T brought him home one day like a little puppy :) So we have a full house and very few moments alone together. It's good that he has a friend around though. I'll admit I'm a little jealous!
So here I am looking at the last week of school coming up. I can't believe that after this 3-day weekend I will have only four more days of teaching! I am almost officially done with my first year of teaching. WOO HOO!
I am looking forward to this summer and all the fun things and all the nothing I get to do! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
Well, I think that's all the news as yet.
