Space Station

One of the fun things that the 6th graders get to do this year is to have the space station come and they get a full day in space. They have a shuttle, a station and a mission control. I split the kids up into groups and they had to complete tasks and different problems that might come up. It was such a great day and my kids beat all the other classes in points.

Bull Dog Canyon

Last night a bunch of friends and myself went to bullhead canyon for quading, repelling, and a bon fire. It was a great time and I am thinking that we need to have more nights like the one last night. The one downside was that it was so cold out there!!!!!!!

Egyptian gods and goddesses

One of the things that we cover in History in 6th grade is Egypt, and because it is Halloween as a 6th grade project all the kids had to create a god or goddess using a pumpkin. Some of the kids work turned out great. On Halloween we had all the kids set up their pumpkins outside and the other kids could come look at them and learn more about the different gods and goddesses of Egypt. Tomorrow is going to be really fun because we are mummifying a chicken in class.

Sunsets in Arizona are the best

As I stepped outside I just looked up and saw a very beautiful blue and pink sky. So I decided to take some quick pics, it may get 115 degrees but the sunsets are the best.

Getting crafty

I try every so often to do something crafty even though I am not the most imaginative person. So I did a class at my house and we created a book dedicated to Wicked the Musical. We took images from a book bought at the musical and created a book that is super cute and could also be used for Halloween. I was really proud of myself and the outcome of the book. I hope to put pictures from when my sister-in-laws, my mom and me all went to cali for a girls trip to see the musical and have a fun time.

Scorpions!

I have decided it is time to move in the last 2 days I have killed 4 scorpions in my house and tonight I killed one in my bed. As I went to bed and was about to turn my light out I see one heading right at me. I was lucky enough to kill it before it could get me but I have decided I need to take action. Making a 12:30am call to the pest control guys I hope they come and help me out because I just might have to move if this is not taken under control and soon.
