HFW Practice

I made up a few HFW Practice pages that are review Kinder words so that I can continue to assess them individually. Click here to download if you would like! :)

wow.....

All I can say you all is that I am so.dang.tired after this week! What a week! I have 23 precious little firsties. 15 girls and 8 boys. So yeah, you can imagine the D-R-A-M-A I have already been dealing with!!!! :) I have Sassy Sue who serenades me every day during lunch. I have Wild Woman Wilma who is driving me CRAZY! Will not follow directions if her life depended on it. Then I have Hyper Hallie who refuses to sit still! Then, when she gets in trouble, she shuts down because she knows I am going to call her mama. She sits in the floor and throws a fit!! Yikes!! This is going to be a long year!!

I saw this on a blog this morning and it is so dang true!  Where did the summer go?  I start teacher inservice bright and early in the morning!  I am really going to miss my daily naps!

No more snuggling with my sweet Sippi, leisurely checking out all the wonderful blogs and facebook while sipping on my coffee, lunch where I can eat as slow as I want, soap operas, naps, cooking dinner……memories!  Here are a few more scrapbook pages.  I don’t know how many of you do Creative memories, but their storybooks are on sale in september!  20% off!  I can’t wait to order mine and see it!!  I have been working so hard on this thing ever since our cruise.

I am going to laminate these, cut out the flowers, and then hang them up in my writing center.  I will not have to be asked how to spell a color word again…thank goodness!!!! 

1st Day of School Pics

I love to take pictures of the kids on the first day of school.  I like to have a sign that they hold.  When I do my end of year DVD of all the pictures I take, I think it’s so cute to see the brand new firstie pictures!!!

I’m linking up with Mrs. Monologues!  She is having a linky party and I’m joining in!

Hi! My name is Stacey!  I am 34 (soon to be 35) year old! 

I am married to Stephen.  We have been married since June 14, 2003.  Can you tell we love to cruise? 

Last summer, we cruised out of seattle to Alaska!  It was awesome!

This summer, we cruised out of NOLA to the Western Caribbean.  More fun times!

I have THE cutest doggie ever!  Her name is Sippi (hubby is a Mississippi State grad).  She is a 3 1/2 year old spoiled rotten cockapoo. 

I love Jesus.

We built our house in 2007 and we love it!!

I love my family!  We are very close.

I have the best in-laws a girl could ask for. 

This is my cutie pie niece Lauren!  She is precious!

This is my older sister and her family.

This is my baby sister and her family.  I have 2 sisters and no brothers.

This is my mom and dad.  My inspiration.

I teach 1st grade and I love it!!  This year will be my 10th year to teach. I taught 3rd grade for 6 years and this is my 4th year in 1st grade.  I like 1st better.

I graduated May 2000 from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches.  I’m a Lumberjack! Axe ‘em Jacks…..

 

And that’s my life in a nutshell….
