My 1st Evaluation

Today while I was teaching history, the principal walked in. I know she wanted to check on some of my "lovely" children, but she stayed for 40 mintues! All of a sudden I was rather warm and had to take off my jacket :) I really enjoy our history curriculum so it wasn't bad timing for her to observe. We were discussing Russia and their Czar, Ivan the Great. I made an analogy about how the princes inheritence was split up during this time. I called her the queen of Xavier (before she came in) and if I was a princess, I'd only get my room. If I died, the students would only get their desks as inheritance. Anyways, when she came in I made another reference to this analogy and all 25 eyes went right to the principal! She had no idea why, so I explained; it was pretty funny. I did pretty good, according to the paper she left me. *Whew!*

This picture was before school started and before we had chairs.

Blogging and vacationing

Well I didn't think I'd do it, but facebook seems out of date. So here I am, blogging. I'll start with our most recent adventure- our 3 night cruise to the Bahamas. It was a great vacation, despite the unideal weather. We went with Paul's mission companion and his wife, who also teaches at a charter school. I was dreading coming back to a wild class after a 5 day weekend and a sub, but it was wonderful! My 3 naughty boys were gone haha but they were good for the sub so it was a relief! I'm already searching for our next trip (this summer, most likely a Mexican cruise with my family) because I love traveling so much! It's hard.. Save money? Spend money? Save money? Vacations? Save money? I don't know! So we try to do a little of both!

We stopped by Disney World, since we were so close! We did the volunteer program and got a day free to any Disney park!
