Snow Day!!!

Mrs. Mueller

That's right, this week was my first week of practicum. I have a 4th grade class, for now anyways, and a 2nd grade reader. It is really fun, but being called Mrs. Mueller is so satisfying and weird all at the same time. I have a hard time getting used tot he Mrs. part, particularly because it makes me feel old. But hearing it makes me feel like a real teacher. And being int he classroom is so much fun and makes me want it even more! I am loving this semester, even though I have had more homework than ever! I get to go through the next 4 semesters with the same 22 people and at first I didn't think it would be so great, but I have to say I really like it. I like being able to see the same people almost everyday and really I am making 22 close friends (as of now, I'm sure I'll have some real stories by the end of this!). Spring break is just around the corner and hopefully I will be going to Washington for a week, as long as I can get the days off. I will really need that break!

Roxy's Friends

Today Roxy made a little friend at the dog park today.

Happy Birthday Blog

Guess what as of January ( a little Late I know) this blog is 2 years old! I have 134 posts. I actually have had a blog for longer than that, many of you might remember I had an MSN account that really didn't work so well cause you had to sign in to read it. I saw that one of my sister in laws friends made their blog into a book and I am thinking about that. Maybe every 2 years I can have one made, every year seems like maybe a little overkill and that might pile up in the bookshelf anyways. Also it's close to Valentine's day. Not that we really ever celebrate, I think it's kind of a silly holiday, but I love pink so it's one of my fave's. Let's see what else.... I get to start my practicum next week, that when we get to go to the schools and actually work with kids. I have 3 different schools I will be going to. I am having a little Superbowl party just for funnsies. I did our taxes and we get a refund, so we will be using that to build a deck this summer. annnnd that's it.

Oh ok

here is my post. i have started back to school and I will tell you what, every thing before this was easy street! My education program is very demanding as it should be. I am so happy to be here and so close to my goal! I get to go through classes with the same set of about 25 people for the next 4 semesters. It is both helpful and challenging because I have made some great friends and found out some people are hard to get along and work with! So after I did a ton of reading I made these cards for Valentine's day.


I have more to make. I have really got my craft room set up and I will have to post some pictures. It's very organized and fun! We had a pretty fun weekend. Between my homework we rented some movies and went out with our friends for some bowling.
