a long overdue post

Well it has been waaaaay too long since I last posted. It has been a crazy/busy/fabulous semester so far. However, it has been so so so busy that I have not had the time to post. This semester I am an assistant teacher in one of the preschool's on campus... and let me tell you there is NEVER a dull moment. I love my students, they seriously know how to turn a crappy morning into a fabulous day. By thinking off the top of my head I cannot think of any specific stories right now but I'm sure I will think of some later on and share them...

OK... Wait... I remembered a short one from my Emergent Literature (Lit. Methods) Class. So my Emergent Lit. class is doing a semester long project where we have a group of us that work with a group of 4 preschoolers doing Read-Alouds and other literature based activities. Lucky for me, I get to work with 4 of my preschoolers that I assistant teach with once a week. So as we are reading the stories to the children, we ask questions along the way, for example "why do you think that the character's unhappy" or things like that. So one of my group memebers asked the children, "Why do you think that owls do that" and one little spunky firecracker of a little girl answers (actually screams) "GREEN EGGS AND HAM!!!" Honestly, it was all we could do not to crack up, but we held it together somehow we do not know.

Mexico+Lettuce+Long Day of Airport Delays= Not a Good Thing

Well well well.... it has been quite awhile since I last posted on here. Not much has happened around here since we're still on break from school. Hopefully I'll have some more stories in the next week or so after classes resume on the 13th (after 4:00)... silly I know. For Christmas my family and I went to Cancun... It was a blast. One word of advice however, Do NOT eat the lettuce. You always hear stories of not drinking the water...which is correct. However, many of us forget that they just wash the lettuce off with tap water and that equals one bad situation in your stomach. I really should have listened to the guy on our shuttle to the resort because he warned us and I was so good about it until the last night. That night I figured I would have a salad because I was really craving one and I didn't see anyone else get sick... BAD idea. The next morning I was a miserable wreck. Not a good idea to be sick in an airport with many many delays. Oh well, I learned my lesson. Hopefully today I'll post some of my scrapbook pages for everyone to check out!
