The Count Down Begins...

Well, it is official the count down has began... there are 9 days and counting until the end of the school year!!

I SURVIVED THE PRAXIS!

As if teaching isn't hard enough, now they want to show their appreciation by making me take a test that a bunch of people, who have never spent time in a classroom with 10 kids with autism, made up. Actually, it doesn't even deserve to be called a test- it should be called "information vomit"! You have 2 hours to write down information like a crazy person on crack. I don't see what harm another half hour's worth of time would make? I do know it might help me fight the urge to amputate my own hand with my teeth, however, which is how I felt after I was finished. I did learn one important thing because of taking this test. I very, much dislike Weber State University and I am very glad I went to BYU. They had one information person on the whole campus and the way they number the rooms in the Social Sciences building is stupid enough to cause a brain bleed in a person of average intelligence!!- This said, I survived the PRAXIS!! Now everyone keep your fingers crossed that I actually passed it!! :)

"Survival of the 15 year old!"

I hope my 15 year old lives to see the day she turns 16 years old!!- I thought I had a hard time with the 2's and/or 3's but they were nothing compared to the 15's!! I think it might be karma paying me back for all the complaining I did when I was 15!!-- Calgon take me away!..

"The 4th Grade Wax Museum"-starring Katie Reece as Maude Adams

Sorry it has been so long since I have updated anything! I hope you all know we have a "movie star" in our family! Katie got to be Maude Adams for the 4th grade Wax Museum. In case you non-cultured people don't know what the Wax Museum is, I will fill you in. The students get to choose someone famous, or well known, who were either born or who have made an impact on Utah. Katie chose the actress Maude Adams. If the video works right and you can understand speedy speech, then Katie will fill you in about her life- Good Luck!
