Blog Reflection

This blog has been very interesting and something new for me to learn how to do. I have really enjoyed it and wish I wasn't so busy so that I could put more effort into it. I know that I could have tried harder and done more. I think that I will use this approach in the future for my own class. I think this would be a great way to keep up with parents and students and allow me to interact with them. This would also serve as another form of communication.

It's a Jungle in Here!

At Hermitage, we are well-known for our FFA program. Our forestry and livestock teams have won at the National level. My nieces both participate in these programs and it is an extremely big part of our school. Here are some pictures of what FFA is all about!

Fall Festival

Here are some pictures from the Fall Festival we had at school. I did not take any so I had to get the Yearbook/Journalism teacher to let me borrow some. It helps that she is my sister-in-law. Ha!

There was a dunking booth, horse rides, basketball shoot, cake walk, dart booth(my 8th grade class booth) and many more. The 8th grade class raised $120.00 which was all profit. I was very excited!

Bud Not Buddy

Bud Not Buddy, is a book that I read for my book talk in college. I chose this book because the 7th graders at my school are actually reading it. I wanted to read something on their level and that I could relate to them about. I really enjoyed this book about a young boy who is an orphan but goes on a search for his father after his mother dies. I recommend this book to anyone. It is a heart warming story with a good ending.

November

November was a fun but trying month. I have been super stressed out with home, work, college, etc. All of this and I have also been trying to take care of my family and my son and I have had severe sinus infections. So with that being said, I am glad to have a break over Thanksgiving. It has been so long since I have done anything for me. I was able to relax and actually read a book. I finished reading Breaking Dawn of the Twilight Series, which I love. It is a great book and a great series. It is also something that my 7th and 8th graders are reading so it gives me something to relate to them about. I think my students enjoy me being able to talk to them and get on their level.
