NO WAY- I graduated!!!

It was one of the best days of my life! I graduated from Saint Mary of-the-Woods College with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education! I also passed all my teaching licensing exams! So excited! WOOO HOO! I'm done! All my loved ones came down to watch the ceremony, then all headed back up to Indianapolis for a lovely dinner, ending with cake and icecream at mom's! It was so perfect! I'm so blessed!

Our New Home!

Ok- it will be our home for at least 5 years! Our landlord on our last new home foreclosed and went bankrupt! (Please don't rent from Derrek Danks- he will screw you)! Anyways, we moved just north 5 blocks from where we were. We LOVE it!! HUGE front porch, fenced-in backyard, basement, and close to downtown Indy! We just love it! And we are finishing the attic this week to add a cute, doll-like bonus room!!! Can't wait for you all to see it! We have had a lot of special friends and family help w/ this unexpected move!! We can't thank these people enough! THANK YOU! AJ, my father-in-law, has helped out bunches! He has cleaned our gutters, put the knobs on our cabinets, hung our towel rods, and much more!! We can't thank him enough!! :)

My Precious 5th and 6th Graders!!

Igot to student teach a 5/6 split class in IPS. I LOVED it! I had a super great student teacher and loved every student!! It was awesome! I really like teaching the upper elementary grades!! Here are some pics! I also organized and planned a Professional Day. We were teaching the kids about interviewing and I thought it would be fun to have my grandpa ( a retired dentist) to come in and the kids could interview him about his profession. However, turns out, grandpa couldn't come, and I ended up being able to get 18 different professionals in to my school for the kids to interview!! It was so amazing! The kids loved it and totally exceeded my expectations! I was so proud of them! I just really want to be the kind of teacher that helps students dream BIG! And I believe this Professional Day allowed for that!
