Snow! :)

Where did the mountain go?! :) It's under the snow clouds! I took this Thursday afternoon and, although some of it melted yesterday, it snowed a little more last night. I wasn't feeling quite ready for winter... but I do love snow!! Sherlock does too... he's a goofy snow-dog :) This morning he woke me up whining and when I got up I saw fresh bunny tracks on the porch!

So it has been a super-busy couple of weeks. The end of October is parent-teacher conferences, so that means a lot of extra meetings and such to make sure everything is on track at this point. My first official observation went really well! I designed a power-point jeopardy game for my students to review for the math test and the principal liked the engaging and inter-active style. yay me! :)

The kids are good... we are getting into the routine of things and I feel so good about the relationship I have with my class. My principal said "There is just this really good vibe in your room, and when you ask the kids to do something, they do it!" Unfortunately there is an awful bug (some say flu... I don't know if anyone has been diagnosed) going around and I have had to deal with some long absences... but so far I haven't gotten sick (*knock on wood*)

Right now I am getting ready to go hang out with my most favoritest Marci and her family who are up in Estes Park for the weekend!! It's so wonderful to see her and Nathan and little Alex!!!! I'm sure I'll have pictures to post soon :)
