So I've been feeling like a major slacker lately because I've been neglecting writing. We've been super busy though, so I've got an okay excuse....kind of. But now it's time for a catch-up.

School has kept me hopping and plenty busy. The semester is almost over though! A couple weeks ago I found out the best news ever...

My student teaching placement is at good ole Terreton Elementary in the 5th grade! I was so excited and so relieved about this! I've been stressing since April about my placement and worried about driving hours every day in the snow, so this worked out  so marvelously and I just cannot wait!

 

My sixth graders have been doing well too. I get a bit teary every time I think about never seeing them again. We've had so much fun (or maybe just I have) and I am really going to miss them. We dissected a pig heart a couple weeks ago after we had learned all about the heart and it was so awesome! The kids loved it and I really loved it-besides smelling like formaldehyde for the next two days.

 

Kolton has been mildly busy. He's really slowed down and is liking not running a hundred miles an hour all the time. In fact, he's spent quite a bit of his now free time on craigslist (don't love this hobby). He's bought a dartboard, the Insanity workout dvds, and all nine seasons of Seinfeld. I'm thinking he needs to find a new hobby. We have used all of our recent purchases however. Insanity kills us about every morning, Seinfeld entertains us at night, and I've beat Kolton at darts quite frequently, so I guess all of these haven't been such bad purchases.

And that's about all we've been up to! I need to be better at keeping up so the catching up isn't quite so overwhelming. I'll be better...after the semester is over. :) We'll see I guess!
