First Day of School 2017-2018

This summer was awesome!  I did so much with my kids and enjoyed every second of it with them.   I feel a bit guilty that my hubby was working so hard while we played.  

This year Titus is a first grader!  I am excited to see him become a confident reader who falls in love with it!  I am so excited he has a teacher I know and love!  





 These two make my heart so happy.   I am so in love with them!  Jesus, thank you for these two blessings.   They truly add so much joy to my life and my prayer is you would use them mightily this year at their school, in their church, and in their community.   

 My beautiful Selah is in 4th grade this year.   She is stunning and fun!   I am so excited she is old enough to entrust in many areas. 

 This year my hope for her is to continue to be an example and to become more organized in everything she does.   





Lockers at school!   Selah has to practice using a pad lock so she can get in her locker. 


As for me... I am still teaching as a K-5 Behavior teacher in a very low-income school.   Some days are more challenging than others but God sure makes it worth it.  This year I pray he would guide me in every decision I do.  That he would be at the forefront when ever I am interacting with a student.  Jesus, guide each step, each word, each thought.  AMEN

Liquid Chalk spray! Chalk Idea #7

Last week we tried out the fizzing sidewalk chalk- click here to read that review. This week it is liquid chalk spray.  They are a bit similar but yet different.  Here is how to make it: Supplies: 1 tsp. washable tempura paint 1 cup of hot water 1/2 cup of cornstarch squirt of dishwashing liquid 1 squirt bottle- I found them at the dollar store 1.  Add cornstarch to one cup of hot water whisking to mix so that there are no clumps. 2.  Add one teaspoon of washable tempura paint and a quirt of dishwashing liquid.  Mix well. 3.  Pour it into your squirt bottles and shake well. 4.  Go have fun!!!   This kept my daughters attention much longer the the fizzy chalk last week.  I also think this was easier to work with and just more fun in general.  I love seeing the chalk wet but then to see it dry.  I think it dried darker so it was fun to see the changes.  :)  Ready, Set, Go!  Have some fun! She is my little model... she kept saying "take my picture mom." She is like her

Toddler Rainbow Craft for St. Patricks Day

St. Patrick's day is March 17th so its approaching quickly.  I have a few ideas on art and food projects that i want to do with the kiddos.  Hopefully I will have enough time to complete them and share them with you.   This was a super easy one for those little hands.  I cut the stripes of colored paper but if you are working with a preschooler or school aged child then they can practice cutting.  The two toddler boys here only had to glue the pieces on their piece of paper.  EASY, but they enjoyed it!  :)  It sure has brightened my kitchen with them hanging on the fridge!  :)   I also talked more about the Promise God gave us with the rainbow since I know that history a whole lot better then the history of the Irish Holiday!
