Halloween fun

A lunchtime prayer

So...what is a teacher to do on a Tuesday (my most unfavorite day of the week) with a new student...brand new today at 9:00 a.m.-- a student with behavior 'issues'?! I am sitting at my desk looking out the window at a beautiful fall day-- eating a DELICIOUS apple-- you know the ones I'm talking about crisp, a little tart but still plenty sweet--- and finishing my big cup of coffee. I am enjoying 10 minutes of silence...trying to refocus and praying that there were not any problems at recess. I will also be grateful after recess because I know the day is more than 1/2 over.

Fall weekend

We had a fun but busy weekend! We went to Paris, IL (about 6 hours south of Milwaukee) to see Jeff, Angela and Oliver. Angela's parents have a pumpkin farm- called Pumpkin Works. www.pumpkinworks.com
We spent the weekend at Pumpkin Works...getting the VIP treatment because we were with Angela:) We went on mazes, took hayrides, picked pumpkins and enjoyed being outside.
On our way home on Sunday, we stopped in Elmhurst to see Emmett's football game. His team won...I think the score was like 47 to 16!!! Then to Jeff and Maureen's for a little visit..... We'll carve pumpkins tonight with Grandma June and Grandpa Buck!!

A great place to give

I posted a project on www.donorschoose.org for cooking tools (blender, griddle, plates, silverware, etc.) for my class. It was fully funded today and we will be getting the tools we requested soon!! If you are looking for a place to donate (it's tax deductible) there are a lot of great projects on the site so take a look around!!!

What a weekend...

What a fabulous fall weekend!!! Went to the Bong (state recreation area) the name kills me!!!---- camping!!!!!
We found a bunch of these signs around the campground.
The beginning of October--- who would have thought you could go shoeless and shirtless?!
The fire man....
