First Grade Awesomeness: um, shoes. SHOES...a Mini Unit!

First Grade Awesomeness: um, shoes. SHOES...a Mini Unit!: "So I attended a week-long conference on inquiry or...project based learning. It was pretty cool. But anyway- we got to talking, and someone ..."




Things like this really help me plan for the beginning of the school year (which starts in 2 weeks!) and what could be better than a unit on shoes! Check it out! :)

Project365/7

Shopping, Shopping, Shopping

Finally went walking this morning after 2 days of taking a break & I'm glad I did.  I was able to get up and get ready for a very busy day.  Went to get some coffee with Jay & was sad to realize that I wouldn't be able to do that for a little while.  Then, I went to BOH in Upper Tumon to pay Bella & John's DEED tuition.  I was glad that I was in the area because Ross was very close by & that ended up being the first shopping place I stopped by & purchased the black & grey shoes along with some make up.  Although I wish I spent more time there, I was happy to hit up the second shopping place.  At the NEX,  I was initially supposed to look for some blouses and pants for STing, but ended up buying some make up and a Clinique moisturizer.  After spending $55 there, I headed over to AHES to meet the Principle and my students.  I was very excited to see them & glad that they were eager to get to know me.  I still had some more STing things to do, so I stopped by DLS & picked up my Drug Screening Results and headed to UOG to drop off all of my clearances.  After all of that, I picked up Karlyn & we enjoyed some YogurtLand for the 3rd day in a row (for me at least), walked around ASC while catching up, & finally ending up at SM where I bought the brown pair of shoes.  I'm also sad that I won't be able to hang out with her for a little while because STing will take up all of my time.   After that, I hung out with some family because my cousin is leaving to her next duty station with her family.  Now, I am happily in my room getting ready for bed.  :)

A Day of Decadence

Today was another busy day of running errands & eating delicious treats!  I woke up to $50 thanks to Momma for gas, so I had time in the morning to make some ham & cheese rolls, which were so delicious especially because they were hot out of the oven.  When I finally got ready, I headed to Agana to get my clearances for STing.  I went to the court and got my ppd read, I was hungry, so I decided to stop by YogurtLand for cup of strawberry cheesecake with kiwi and chopped peanuts.  Then, I headed to Tiyan to get a police clearance and finally made it home to make a yummy Mexican lasagna.  Everything I ate today was so delicious especially the Godiva truffles that I shared with my brother.  Never have I ever had chocolates as good as those truffles! :)

Christmas Spirit

Today was my day off from running, 
so i slept in & then, gave myself a manicure with Jay.
I was supposed to run errands again & clean up a bit, but my mother
surprised me with a trip to Anderson for some retail therapy!
I was happy until it went overtime & i ended up being 5 minutes
late to my 330PM Student Teacher meeting.  I was excited
to meet my Master Teacher & we made arrangements for me to
meet the students on Friday at 1030AM, so I was VERY EXCITED!!!
However, My mom totally killed my excitement when she got mad at
me for not being able to pick up the kids. :(
I eventually got over it & went to babysit at the Borg's & gave them
their gifts, which they LOVED! I was so happy to be there because
their house was beautifully decorated with the BEAUTIFUL Nativity
among other Christmas things. :)

Game Night

Today was a busy, busy day!  I woke up at 415AM to go walking with momma, ate breakfast, then fell back asleep at 9AM.At 11AM, I woke up & went to the post office & stood in the longest line for a huge box of clothes for the kids & mom.  Then, I got my ppd shot that has to be read on Thursday & went home to make fish tacos (which were so YUM!) & finally went to church.  After church, Jay, Kika, Jav, & I played Guesstures, Apples to Apples, & Scattergories.  It was a long & busy, but fun day! :)

DeSol Nail Polish & iPhone Ease Boredom

Today was the first day of errand running, but 
it won't be the last for this week. :(
First, I went to pee in a cup for a Drug Test at ITC & it was boring
because the wait was so long, so I played on my iPhone.  Then, Mary Rose
showed up, it was nice speaking to her after such a long break.  
I was also amused by the color changing DeSol Nail Polish
that Kika gave me for Christmas.
