Look at me go!!

You are seeing this correctly!! 2 days in a row?! I told you I'm trying!! After day 2 of teacher workdays, im exhausted!! Since we had a two and a half hour staff meeting, it didnt give us much time to work in our classrooms! Amy and I stayed after to try to knock some stuff out but it just seems like we have so much to do! It doesnt really help that I keep having all new ideas and visions for our classroom, which will make it awesome, but we are on a time schedule here and I'm not sure if it will all be done by Thursday! Yikes! As soon as I left school, I went and got a TON of felt fabric to make one of these visions that I have decided I want to create. Then I went and got some cheap picture frames which I am painting right now! So much to do, so little time! Of course, I'm making some time to venture to Foothills Trivia tonight! Hopefully I wont be too exhausted in the morning. Oh well, yolo right? (you only live once)

Back to painting/ polka-dotting/ modge-podging!

Oops.

Ok, I failed. My first year of teaching and blogging was an epic failure...well the blogging part...not the teaching part. As my second year starts, I am promising to be better at this. I could go back and talk about last year, but honestly it would take me months to even scratch the surface. So we will start from here.

I turned the big 2-4 a week ago. Yikes!! As I celebrated my birthday with the best friends and family I realized how blessed I am. As much as I dislike getting older, I couldnt ask for anyone better to get old with!  Now, I am working diligently in my classroom in preparation for visitations from my babies later this week! Something about fresh bulletin boards just makes me smile. I am SO excited to meet this years polkadots.

As for now, this teacher is sleepy after her first workday after a long summer! Bed time is calling my name!!

XOXO,

Miss Megan

Ok, its official. I have no future in blogging.

Why do I keep forgetting to update this? There have so many things that have happened since the last post. I have no idea where to start....but here we go.

Lots to catch up on...

Ok, so I have completely failed at updating this. Sorry to Janie for not giving you entertainment. I will try to recap the past two weeks, but it might be difficult, so much has happened!!

To update you on our hermit crab. Just when I thought things couldnt get worse, Amy and I walked into the classroom last week to find the poor hermit crabs claw laying next to him. It apparently fell off in the middle of the night. Amy immediately picked the crab up figuring that it was D-E-A-D (we spell that word at school, dont want the kiddos getting concerned) but nope, it was still kickin'....just kickin' without a leg. I researched on google and apparently this is common for hermit crabs that have undergone stress and environmental changes. Go figure, now we are dealing with a depressed crab.

This past weekend I ventured to Boone to relive my glory days. There will be a update coming about that experience. Let me tell you, it was an adventure to say the least.

Last week I had the privilege to take the girl im babysitting to dance class. Talk about CUTE. I'm talkin' monogrammed leotards, precious matching bows, and totally uncoordinated when it came to actually dancing.  It was the most precious thing ever. While I was there, I hung out with 4 mothers who were all pregnant. This was an enlightening experience.

Recently, I have been asked about my love life. Well as College Town Grad on twitter put it, "At this point I have a better chance of finding Waldo than a boyfriend." And I will leave it at that.

Dinner time. Will post more later.

Wednesday in the Polka-dot Playhouse

Wow. What a day. I'm not even sure where to start. It was overall, an okay day I guess. Mostly just chaotic and crazy. Oh well, what can you expect with 14 three year olds? On the playground I was greeted with a GIANT hug by one of the girls I babysit who is in the 4 year old class. I gave her a kiss on the cheek and proceeded to tell her how beautiful she looked today. She had no interest in complements however, she ripped her headband off her head and flung it into my hands saying "here hold this" as she sprinted off to the other side of the playground to catch up with her friends. I guess the babysitter gets to be in charge of clothing items on the playground. She is just precious and makes my day every time I get to see her.
I swear our hermit crab (the polka-dot class pet) in invincible or something. One day Amy left him/her in the car when it was about 95 degrees. Somehow the hermit crab survived. Last night, Amy put him/her outside during the afternoon so it could get some fresh air (our classrooms are really cold.) Well low and behold, Amy forgot about our dear friend and it ended up spending the night outside of the preschool door. Oops. When Amy arrived this morning, she immediately went to see if our dear friend was still outside. It was! She carefully brought the hermit crab into the classroom. We put it back in its normal spot in the room. After about 2 hours, Amy informed me that ants had invaded the cage while the hermit crab spent the night outside. GREAT. So then we were trying to battle an army of ants that had decided to make a home in our hermit crabs cage. Somehow, the hermit crab has still survived all of these horrific experiences. What a trooper.

Until tomorrow (or I have something else to blog about)

Miss Megan
