The Rest of the Classroom


The Pictures are all kinda dark but i hope they are good enough to see. This first one is taken from the back of the room. My desk is there on the right and my sweet smartboard is in the left.




Here is the team puzzle that the kids and I made on the first day of school. I just wrote team in sharpie and then cute it up to look like puzzle pieces. Each puzzle piece had a little bit of team on it. The kids took their individual puzzle piece and decorated it however they wanted. Then as we taped the puzzle together we talked about how each of us bring something different but together we make an awesome team.


OOO AHH!!
I was so sad when I first walked into this tiny portabel but I did the best I could to spruce it up and I think it is starting to grow on me.



So many desks and so little room but, we are one cozy team:)








Curtains That Make The Whole Room

I want to give a special THANK YOU to my Grandma Jo who made curtains for my new classroom. Since I decided on a sports theme, I needed the curtains to match and so I enlisted my very talented grandma to help make cute sporty curtains to replace the old faded blue ones I had before. All I told her was that the colors I used to decorate were red, yellow, blue, and green. She picked the perfect material and whipped them up in a jiffy. Now the room is looking good!! I have already had several compliments by other teachers and parents who think they are as fabulous as I do. Thanks again grandma for all of your help!

HOOF HEARTED!!

UVU softball is about to begin, only this time, without the stud Roskelley in their ranks.  I knew this time would come eventually.  Actually I have been looking forward to it for about 3 and a half years!! :) But now that the time has finally come i find myself feeling a little lost.  Softball has been such a big part of my life I don't know what I would do without it.  SO,  I have decided that I am not quite ready to hang up the cleats yet.  I have joined a slow pitch league in Pleasant Grove on a team that my cousin Wally Roskelley has put together.  We have games on Wednesday nights and I am loving the all games no practice aspect of the team already. The league started 2 weeks ago and our first couple showings were shaky but with each game we play we show vast improvements!!  I love being a part of this new team.  If you are ever in PG on a wednesday night be sure to stop by for all the action a night can hold.  You will see Hoof Hearted #4 proudly taking the field.
