Monday Memory



In trying to blog more, I've decided to try a few new things.
Memory Monday is one of them.

This is my attempt at a meme, maybe---is that the right word?

Anyway...my thought is to share (and have YOU share) a memory about a specific thing each Monday, through words, pictures, or both. So....are you ready?? Here goes. In keeping with the whole "back to school" thing going on in my life.....

What is a memory you have about being in the 1st grade?

Mine....let's see...
I remember being the highest reader and my teacher having to supplement me like crazy. I got to read chapter books, and she'd quiz me on them, and I got to work on those little SRA folder stories where you'd read the story printed on them and then answer questions...and they were color coded by levels.

I remember playing on the swings at recess, me and my friends Shani and Stevie. We all liked this boy named Asa, and we'd "hang" off the swings like we were falling off and yell, "Help me, Asa, Help me!" and he would come over and "set us up right" and then go off to play with the other boys, til we yelled again...

oh the joys of being 6!

What is something YOU remember about 1st grade?

I can't even remember 1st grade. That was one grade I must have blocked out. Maybe that was the year I peed my jumpsuit because I couldn't get it off in time. LOL I remember the boys chasing us on the playground though.

So..it's a new year. And I haven't posted here since..umm..May. I have been thinking of deleting this blog..or at least all the entries in it, and starting over. Maybe a school blog. I see tons of cute ones everyday when I'm perusing pinterest. I could do that. maybe. no...probably not. But I might try. This place did not turn out the way I wanted it to. I have my personal "diary" blogs/journals elsewhere. This one is too public for that anymore. I should make it something fun. I don't want to lose it. Erica made it so cute for me. I don't even know how to do that... or, for that matter, delete the entries I have here. I can't find the "dashboard" button that use to be there. hmmmm.. This may take more time than I thought.

Alphabee Thursday: E is for Expectations

Image
Today is Alphabee-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter E. is for yep...that's right. Expectations Such a big word. Dictionary.com defines it as Something expected. hmmm....kinda vague, so I looked up "EXPECT": 1.to look forward to; regard as likely to happen; anticipate the occurrence or the coming of 2. to look for with reason or justification: There are certain things I just expect in life: * I expect the light to come on when I flip the switch. * I expect the microwave to pop my popcorn perfectly in about 3 minutes. * I expect whatever I'm plugging into the electrical socket to work when I turn it on. * I expect to be given correct change when paying for a purchase. I also have expectations of people in my life. *I expect people to do what they say they will do *I expect my children to do what I ask of them, when I ask it *I expect kindness instead of rudeness in public *I expect honesty from others. *I expect my dog to jump all over me as...

C is for Crayon

Today is Alphabe-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter C...so let's get right down to it. is for ahhh...the simplicity of crayons! An essential tool in my profession, and yet such a vital part of our lives. Crayons have the ability to color our world. They add life to simple drawings, brighten up the darkest of pictures, and create rainbows on rainy days. After completing a writing assignment my students will often ask...."Do we have to draw a picture?" "Of course you do!! And use your crayons!" I will reply. And then the real feelings of their topic show through. Without color, how dull our lives would be. No yellow sunshiny days. No pink cotton candy. No blue skies and green grass. Lollipops would be tasteless and lemonade would be just water. The fashion industry would go bust and movies would not be worth seeing. Crayons add life. They add spirit. And they make me smile. Even tho a wee little piece of one was the bane of my world on M...
