I am slightly obsessed with Carly over at The College Prepster - major fangirl and I love everything about her blog! Go check it out and see what I'm talking about. Every year she posts her top ten of the year and well, it has inspired me to reflect on my top ten of the year. One: School This year I started at ISU in...
Hello friends! Today I wanted to share with you the crafts we've been doing in after care this week. With my class schedule this past semester I was only able to work in the afternoons on Monday, Wednesday and Friday - hence why I only have three activities for the week. But! Starting in January you all will get to see a full...
This past week has been stressful, long and glorious all in one. Today I'm linking up with the beautiful Lauren over at Lauren Elizabeth to share my top five of the week! 1. Finals Week/End of the semester: PRAISE THE LORD! Another semester down and only three more to go until student teaching. It seems as if I've been in school forever (in reality I'm...
Welcome to day four of #12daysofblogging! Today's topic: Favorite Christmas Music This was SOOO difficult for me to decide just one favorite song, hmmm I'm seeing a common theme with all my posts and not picking just one to talk about :) This past Monday night the college ministry group that I'm apart of on campus had a Christmas Communion night. I had...
HORRAY! Another day of Christmas blogging! As being a very poor college student when I saw todays topic of DIY Christmas Gift, I got really excited and went straight to Pinterest for some inspiration. Now, disclaimer, I haven't actually done any of these DIY gifts myself because this week is finals week so, I've been lucky enough to get sleep, food and of...
Hello friends! Day two of #12daysofblogging Of course I couldn't just pick one ornament that was special, it was too hard. So instead I wanted to share two themes of ornaments that hold a special place in my heart. Like I said yesterday, Christmas is kinda a big deal in our home, especially when it comes to decorating the tree. We all have...
I have been waiting for this day all of December when I found out Amber over at Mr. Thomas and Me and Erin at Hooley with Z were co-hosting this link up! Christmas is in my opinion the best time of year and I'm so excited to share with y'all some of the reasons why Christmas is something I look forward to year round. Day...
Before we get too far into December, I wanted to show y'all the last few projects we were working on in November! Native American Hand Prints Working on our paper acorns How precious is this turkey wreath?! The pre-k classes and multiage class ended up doing the same craft the following days - not even planned! Too funny! So, I find the Christmas...
I find myself dreaming about what I want my classroom to look like on the daily basis. I see something on Pinterest and a handful of clicks later I've planned my whole room. As the semester comes to a close, I finished up an online portfolio of strategies, classroom management, teaching tidbits, etc that I've learned and observed throughout the semester. You can...
Thanksgiving is a little bitter sweet after moving 2,400 miles away from our home town, family and friends, this week two years ago. It's just not the same sitting down with only the four of us. But, as I think about the past two years here in Illinois, I'm overwhelmed by the goodness of our Lord Jesus and the blessings he has put...
