As I began to click and explore through The Bible of Ethiopia I was amazed, besides watching the occasional history channel I had never first handily flipped through such an aged artifact in my life.  My first impression was that I loved the contrast that was used by the author, there is clearly color in not only the illustrations but in the important texts and headlines that are important.  The repetition and alignment are clearly seen throughout the book, many of the illustrations are repeated and the boarder around each page is repeated. The font, which is really handwritten is beautiful, now days we just pick a font online, imagine writing in the same font for hundreds of pages, I couldn't do it.

Happy Holidays

I'm here, I'm here, I'm here!!

Boy have I been gone a long time or what!! I have been terribly busy with finishing a class and turning in finals, Christmas shopping, entertaining my two boys during their holiday vacation all while being nauseated (I will spare you the gruesome details) and trying to stay awake long enough to have fun during my Christmas break.

Being 9 weeks pregnant, getting my masters, being a mother to my 2 boys, a wife to my husband, blogging, facebooking, etc. seems like it is going to be the most challenging time in my life.
Oh and did I mention that I am turning the BIG----3----0 on January 12th! NOOOOOOOOO!  I can't even put the three in front of the zero with out freaking out! LOL!

My twenties were so much fun, both my sons were born in my twenties, I got married in my twenties, I received my bachelor's degree when I was in my twenties, we bought our first house in my twenties, and I was awarded TEACHER of the YEAR in my twenties!! What more could a girl ask for?

And let's not forget I started blogging, pinning, and facebooking in my twenties.  Whoa, what is 3    0   going to bring?  I know one thing is for sure!  A new addition to our family!  And yes we are really hoping PINK PINK PINK!!

I am hoping that I won't be missing in action for so many days again! Don't forget about me, I am still here!!

Convection WHAT?

Sum it up with QR Codes!

Kindergarten  3rd Quarter
During our Math Sums lessons, students will find QR codes available all around the classroom.  Each QR code will either have a youtube video, graphic, or actual problem to work on.  Students will be paired in twos with a clip board, pencil, iPad, and QR Reader app.
