The Wedding of Q and U (and the wedding of me!)

It's been a while since I have blogged.  The main reason is because I got married!  

Brian and I were blessed to be married on March 5.  Here are a few pics from the wedding.

I designed little programs that were a newspaper.  Brian studied journalism and loves to write, so it was the perfect program for us.

Our wedding party was just siblings and Brian's nieces.

My aunt made our wedding cake.

I made a surprise groom's cake for Brian.  He worked for the Dallas Stars for several years and loves hockey.  I made the little jerseys with a 3 and a 5 for March 5.

Brian surprised me with a little skit of how we met and sang to me.  It was so sweet and a shock!

By the way, we met at church youth group in 1998!  We also went to the same high school...

and the same college.  This college pic was from last winter when Brian's sister graduated.  We love our Alma Mater!

My dad made this beautiful photo booth for the reception at our church.

Here is my dad and me when we were setting up the reception area the day for the wedding.

Since there was so much love in the air, I planned to focus on the chunk qu- and had the wedding of Q and U.  It was so much fun!

After all of the fun of Q and U and my own wedding, my new lovey and I headed to Hawaii for a Spring Break honeymoon.

I have many posts planned for the summertime to show what my little cuties learned this second semester, as well as some great new products to release, but first, I need to finish up my school year. There are only six and a half days left with my kinder cuties.  The year flew by with these incredible kids.

Have a fabulous weekend!

Hall Pass

Hi friends!  Happy Friday!  I am linking up with Reagan (TX gal!!) to share my Hall Pass:

Product

I love my Very Busy Vowels unit the most.  My cuties really learned a lot from it.

Area

I love my calendar area.  I love to teach calendar.  This pic from the beginning of the year.  I change out the activities a lot, so we cover lots of concepts.  I also have a calendar caper who visits and messes things up.

Signal

I use "Tootsie roll, lollypop.  We've been talking, now let's stop."  It works everytime.  

Sanity

I love to bake!  i make a lot of cakes and cupcakes for parties for peeps.  Here are some of my creations:

Some look better than others.  I try, though, and it's fun to me.  

Hi friends!

I am still alive!  I know I have not posted in f-o-r-e-v-e-r... but that's because it's been a little busy.  Here's what we have been up to the first two weeks of school.

We started the year with All About Me activities to get to know each other.  We shared Me Bags, but I didn't get any pics of them - oops!  You can get the directions for FREE here on my website.

We also completed our first family project which was to decorate a hexagon for a class honeycomb that shows that we all "bee" long together.  Here are some of them.  They will stay up all year to remind us of our classroom community.  You can print the directions, sign, and honeycombs here for FREE on my website.

 

We also created a few familiar looking projects compliments of Deanna Jump and Kim Adsit.

Here are some All About Me books we made.

This was a little extra fun project that we did for my news bulletin board outside of my classroom.  We turned our pictures into little bees!

Totally not necessary, but super cute and fun!

We also celebrated our good behavior with a shaving cream party.  We earned this reward last Friday when we earned 50 Pride Passes as a class.  Pride Passes are little tickets that students earn throughout the school.  It's a part of our PBIS system.

Look, one of my cuties drew Pete!

 

Here are a few more pics.  You may notice our Pete the Cat hats.  Pete tied in great this week because our letters of study were C, A, and T.

We also started building our reading stamina in Daily 5 and have been graphing our progress.  We have made it to 7 minutes.

You can print out the graph here for FREE on my website.

We also learned about the people at school by going on my Kissing Hand Tour.  The cuties LOVED it!

 

We're off the find Chester...

 

 The first stop was the library to visit Mrs. Robledo.

You can get it here on my TPT store for only $2.

Here is a pic of us building the letter A from my Building the Alphabet set on TPT.

We also go to meet Penelope after learning how to take care of our stuffed hedgehog first.

This is actually an old photo.  The pic I snapped of us with Penelope had a student in it that does not have permission to be on my blog.  I am sure you can visualize our enjoyment of her.

There has been a lot more going on, but there is a small glimpse of our two weeks together.  I must say, too, that this class is AMAZING!  I have tickled pink to be with this group everyday and we still have the rest of the year together!
