Or at least I feel like I am.<br /><br />I'm simple, don't usually step out of my little 5'1'' box.<br /><br />But when Stephen and I met with our photographer he asked what ideas we had about <span style="font-size: large;">engagement pictures</span>. Thanks to Pinterest I had seen some pictures done at the fair and thought it was a cute idea, but wasn't totally <span style="font-size: large;">sold on</span> it. When we were talking Stephen mentioned that he was interested some in a field - barn - AKA the typical engagement shoot, at least from what I've seen. I was totally fine with it, until our photographer mentioned the fair being <span style="font-size: large;">in town</span> soon and we both decided that we would do something a little different. So we decided on the fair, but will be having some more traditional pictures done also.<br /><br />Stephen and I were talking over dinner about how nervous, but excited we are about the session.<br /><br />We are typically not very affectionate in front of our parents. I think they have seen us quick kiss once or twice (and of course hold hands), and these pictures require us to be affectionate in front of the photographer and my parents are coming along for fun, along with the crowd of people at the fair. <br /><br />There just seems like there is all this pressure. You want the pictures to turn out great. You want your smile to <span style="font-size: large;">hold up</span>. You want your outfits to look nice. You want your hair to be perfect. This is definitely more stressful than I ever thought it would be. haha.<br /><br />Our photographer asked me to look up pictures and get ideas of what types of photos we would like taken and here are just a few pictures we found that we love!<br />

Friday was our last day and was a nice calm day in my classroom. We took our usual Friday quizzes/tests and I even managed to still pull my small group for remediation during Spanish! We ended the day a little early with snack and watching the <span style="font-size: large;">movie Cars</span>.<br />
<br />
As far as our <span style="font-size: large;">holiday party</span> went I kept it simple (completely opposite of what we did for our fall party!) and celebrated it on Thursday alllll day long! I found cute crafts to do from Amy Lemons blog stepintosecondgrade. I also found a ton of awesome stuff from Denise's blog sunnydaysinsecondgrade. We started the day with holiday word work, created penguins, reindeer, gingerbread men, and beaded ornaments, created Christmas tree <span style="font-size: large;">tessellations</span> with <span style="font-size: large;">pattern blocks</span>, created <span style="font-size: large;">ice cream cone</span> Christmas trees, played snowman scoot, a silent snowman <span style="font-size: large;">math game</span>, ate lots of treats, and passed out their gifts under the Christmas tree. Each of my kiddos got a treat sack which included a Horrible Harry book. Whew! Here are some pics:<br />

I know you're all getting ready for the new year and today I did one of my favorite back to <span style="font-size: large;">school activities</span>. I printed and sent out to my new incoming Firsties my welcome letter. Each year I search and search for paper that matches my classroom theme as a little heads up to the kids about what's up ahead! Here is the Jungle Themed paper I found at United Education. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs61GToUZXjh9sSVJesYgx2265OqvwshR7SM6nNsQ9IwDq3kKQxSZaemtZK0eG2_919z3el8sJAklwHFAG0O8esW4t7xnnROcv6B1-CpnlZ_q17LWrw5tog7BVWuW4E964m5D2ObGwFQ/s320/WP_001581.jpg" width="240" /></div>
<br />
I love sending out this letter ahead of the year to introduce myself to the students and help the students <span style="font-size: large;">feel at ease</span> about their new transition into First Grade. As part of my letter, I always ask the students to write me a handwritten {I say this so they do it all by themselves and that no one writes the letter for them ;o} letter telling me about themselves, as well as ask them for a photograph too. Here's <span style="font-size: large;">a sample</span> of the letter. Just short and sweet! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8TWbV64BwNAIV4nRP-lfxBL_u7XLuizUiBAKLRiHld_V7t6KsOENi9kX05OZrVqWtX3WieEf_snYA3OntKJiPh6IXeTng8TucjIDXg0hFKvI7HTXJ4e5LJOPumiVJYGkmjCzygVccRw/s320/WP_001582.jpg" width="320" /></div>
I then use their letters and photos as part of my hallway display welcoming the students to their new classroom. Not only is it a great way for me to meet the students and get to know a little bit about them before the year begins, but the letters make a great classroom book to lay out throughout the year so that the students can all <span style="font-size: large;">read about</span> one another. Now, how fun is that!?! This book always ends up being one of the most popular ones on the shelf for the students to grab and read when they are finished with their work! <br />
<br />
And, as I was shopping at a local <span style="font-size: large;">party store</span> today, I came across this sign. Halloween is one of my ultimate faves- but I'm not quite ready yet. :o)<br />

Just
to be festive for the month of October and Halloween, lets do today's
poll about October! As for me... I truly LOVE October! Love it. In fact,
I would have got married in October but my husband didn't want our
anniversary to interfere with his hunting season. Yeah - MEN! There
isn't much I don't love about this month. I think Halloween is a blast. I
love to dress up my kids. I love to carve pumpkins, I love the weather -
it is just right for me, and I love the beautiful landscape with the
variety of colors. The only bad part would be the candy... my kids
really don't need <i>that</i> much sugar! So... now it's your turn. Take the poll and be sure to leave some specifics in the comments too!

Have I ever mentioned that I HATE
adverbs? Yep, hate 'em. And I don't care if I use them in my blogging.
WHY? Because I blog as I am - how I really talk - and we all talk with
adverbs. I am totally the Queen of Adverbs! Always using them.
However... they are a big NO-NO in our writing. Dang it! Did I mention I
seriously hate them?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJAaS-KIqX-erd46gEFwTk5iyKWv9qFOZYXrqgrMoORbKM_UsvDOGLrmUJNpPwvS6-7Zf0YzzwjJz88H8S0ikEDM7Sbjrjg587DktDiceqq5mHstKO-oLz89760Kh0KgfL04hVUpQG3tI/s1600/adverbs2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJAaS-KIqX-erd46gEFwTk5iyKWv9qFOZYXrqgrMoORbKM_UsvDOGLrmUJNpPwvS6-7Zf0YzzwjJz88H8S0ikEDM7Sbjrjg587DktDiceqq5mHstKO-oLz89760Kh0KgfL04hVUpQG3tI/s400/adverbs2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here
is a little chart to get you better aquainted with the horribly
dreadful adverbs. Bleh. I did get an awesome tip for identifying them in
your writing though.... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Do a word search with "LY_" (yeah that line means space.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* Lots of adverbs end in LY. This will highlight them. You will probably be amazed at how many you use.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
*
Don't just change them because other words end in "LY", like family. So
check it out to make sure it's an adverb before you make any changes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* There are OTHER ways to "show-not-tell" - other than adverbs!</div>
* Did I mention we should quit using adverbs?<br />
<br />
<b>Want an EXAMPLE?</b><br />
<i>John slowly walked across the room. </i>*<i><b>VS</b>* John couldn't help but drag his feet as he walked across the room.</i><br />
<br />
OK.... quick side note. SOMETIMES, and I mean VERY FEW TIMES, which
means PRACTICALLY NON-EXISTENT TIMES, we can use an adverb. This is LESS
THAN RARELY! But just be careful. Editors, publishers and agents don't
want to see them.<br />
<br />
Ugh ~ I hate adverbs!<br />

<b>How do you feel about adverbs? <i>Hopefully</i>, you hate them too. Do you find them hard to steer away from or are you practiced enough that you don't use them?</b><br />

was the last day of my Advanced Drawing class, and to celebrate, Jinx
bought me some lovely flowers. Then we took Aidan to the toy store
because he is slowly mastering the art of using the potty, having jumped
from "NO I DON'T WANT TO!" to "DIAPERS ARE FOR BABIES!" and
successfully pooping and peeing in the toilet. Hurray for self- directed
learning!<br /><br />Anyway Aidan had his heart set on Moon Sand, this
weird sandy shit that is somehow mold- able and also
easy-to-get-all-over-the- carpet, so we got that crazy crap for him. I
did my usual jaunt around the boy's section of Toys R Us to see if they
had Creepy Crawlers, because they had them at Christmas
and then I never saw them again-- and LO! they had them in all their
squirmy wormy easy bake glory! So Jinx bought them for me as a class-
ending gift.<br /><br />I n ever had Creepy Crawlers as a kid. There's a lot
of toys I never had, which I'll explore later on when I'm not freaking
excited, but Creepy Crawlers are one of the toys I was denied because it
was a "boy" toy and I was-- and still am-- a girl. So I laugh at my
parents now, 20 years later. Victory is mine!<br /><br />Jinx told me that
when he was younger his older brother-- we'll call him "Joe", coz thats
his name-- has Creepy Crawlers but Jinx wasn't allowed to play with them
because they had METAL plates that can burn you when you remove them
from the hot hot h eat. WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING! METAL PLATES!
HOW'S YOUR NINTH DEGREE BURNS!!!!!! I googled this and sure as shit
there they were-- a plate from 1965 of creepy crawler metal molds.
DUMBASSES.<br /><br />I'll update later with a picture of my creations.

So... after the Monster Mania <a href="http://scooterandjinx.blogspot.com/2009/03/monster-mania-weekend-part-2-blairstown.html#" rel="msb001" style="border-bottom: 3px double #0033FF; color: #0033ff; text-decoration: none;">shenanigans</a> were over we all decided to take a 2 hour detour to Blairstown, NJ, where the original Friday the 13th was filmed.<br />
<br />
We
got all the way there, and much like Benjamin Button, if we had just
stopped for gas, or ate another croissant, we wouldn't have ran into the
asshole old man in the yellow pickup truck telling us we couldn't go in
to the camp, or even TAKE A PICTURE OF THE SIGN, because if we posted
it anywhere the STATE OF NEW JERSEY would surely arrest us. Then he sat
there and waited for us to leave.<br />
