Engineers For A Day

Today we had a great time at school. Once a month all of the students in our school are Engineers For A Day.

Today we built a pasta bridge. The object was to build a bridge using uncooked pasta & clay. The bridge has to be strong enough to hold weight over a distance span.

At first, the kids didn't get the concept. They thought that they were building a big fancy cutesy bridge. After a trial & huge error some eventually got it.

Egg Hunt

We started the day off with Wreck It Ralph. We had our 9-week attendance movie.  The students that have perfect attendance are entitled to a movie & snacks. Afterwards, we made egg baskets. Then it was the finale.....THE EGG HUNT (In my very excited screaming kid voice). The kids REALLY enjoyed themselves.

It's Summer Time

It's the summer time and I have once again bit off more than I can chew!  I signed up to get my Masters in Early Childhood Education.  For some reason I thought I was superwoman.  I have a new baby and I am a full-time graduate student.  It is difficult because I spend all day trying to complete my assignments and tend to my baby and my 10 year old.  I am so sorry I did this to my children.  I figured this will help the family in the long run but I am drowning.  What will I do when I start work?  I will not have time to sleep.  What have I done?
