Happenings...

Newest pinkeeps- I love the wooden one- a old treen cup with carved rings!

 

Making Signs- Printer, Carbon Paper, & Paint!

Goodwillin'...

Wreaths- Target, $1 for 2.  Pumpkins- Goodwill, $.50

 

The beginnings of Sandy (Although she has not made landfall yet.)

Check out my little stove- it's my smore maker and some vintage pans... Hope I don't have to use it!

 

How much rain we have since this morning (It is now 11:30 am).  I am tracking it on my chalkboard in the hall. Rain and wind picking up.  It is not supposed to be here until tonight.  Already scary now. I am going to go take a shower, make brownies, and cook chicken before the power goes out.

Well, I am all up-to-date now with my posts!  I am praying for you all, and I hope you are all safe and well! 

I will leave you with the song from my childhood that has just popped in my brain the last few days...

"How Can I Fear?”

by Ron Hamilton (Patch the Pirate)
 

 WHEN SHADOWS FALL AND THE NIGHT COVERS ALL
THERE ARE THINGS THAT MY EYES CAN NOT SEE,
I’LL NEVER FEAR FOR THE SAVIOUR IS NEAR;
MY LORD ABIDES WITH ME.
HOW CAN I FEAR? JESUS IS NEAR,
HE EVER WATCHES OVER ME.
WORRIES ALL CEASE, HE GIVES ME PEACE.
HOW CAN I FEAR WITH JESUS? 

WHEN I’M ALONE AND I FACE THE UNKNOWN
AND I FEAR WHAT THE FUTURE MAY BE,
I CAN DEPEND ON THE STRENGTH OF MY FRIEND,
HE WALKS ALONG WITH ME.

HOW CAN I FEAR? JESUS IS NEAR,
HE EVER WATCHES OVER ME.
WORRIES ALL CEASE, HE GIVES ME PEACE.
HOW CAN I FEAR WITH JESUS?

JESUS IS KING, HE CONTROLS EVERY THING;
HE IS WITH ME EACH NIGHT AND EACH DAY.
I TRUST MY SOUL TO THE SAVIOUR’S CONTROL;
HE DRIVES ALL FEAR AWAY – AWAY – AWAY!
HE WATCHES OVER ME
I WILL NOT FEAR……..WITH - - - - - HIM. 

Blessings,

A Day in Fifth Grade...

Psalm 118:24
This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

One of the students wrote this in Latin... Do you know what it says?  Gold star if you do... ;)

Murphy!

Hey! You Lookin' at Me???

"The Hairy Eyeball"

Takin' Notes

"What makes a good map?"

"Why do you need to learn how to read a map?  We have GPS?"- Um. In case your GPS dies...

The path to the other building where all of our specials are.  It is the main building.  We are called "The Wing" (Not the West one).  See the puddles?  Yes.  It rained. Hard.  Teacher wet. Students wet.  Bleck.  That's my car in the picture.  His name is "Jethro".  I name all of my cars...  Anyone else?

Yup. Rain.  Weather Bug says so.  Wet teacher says so too.

My new hanging folder rack.  Umm, it is my "Things That Need a Home" rack.  Ooops...

My desk today.  Not too messy.  Coffee is needed...

Teacher is ALWAYS busy... 

Our Skittles are graphed...

Making more words... Problem: They are doing it in the middle of the floor.  The "words" have been kicked multiple times.  Not Scrabble.  Scramble...

Well!  That's it!!!  That is your tour for the day!  Hope your day was dry!

Blessings to you all!
