Yesterday was my big 30th birthday! I guess it really isn't that big, because I don't feel much older. Mike and I went to school in the morning. I have one class that I really shouldn't miss and it was yesterday. After school we came home and a couple of hours later we went to lunch. It was really good. I think my favorite part was the bread or the fire roasted tomato soup. Mike doesn't really like tomato soup but he said it was really good. Abigail liked it too.
After that we were going to go home and rest for the day. My parents called and said they were going to take us to dinner. My dad like buffets and I hate them so we went to IHOP. I tried the BLT and it was really really good. I think I will have to get that again. We then came back to our house for cake and ice cream. Which was good. Mike gave me some dot to dot books. They are harder than the kids ones thankfully. Mike knew I really liked them and it was his mom that showed them to us to begin with. So overall it was a nice relaxing birthday.

YUCKY!!!!!!
So tonight I was sitting her working on the computer, Mike was in the other room playing x-box and Abigail took that time to go into the bathroom, pull a lid out of the garbage can and precede to take water out of the toilet and play with it slash drink it. I was in the living room and I heard her gagging I was like what is she doing? I thought she was maybe in her room, but nope not in there then I heard splashing. I was like oh no! I went into the bathroom and she had both hands in the toilet taking water out. I was like eww gross, at the same time wondering who left the bathroom door open.
I gave her a bath and tried to give her milk just in case she ingested anything bad. It now makes me wonder I am going to have another one of these? They are cute but they can sure get into things.

50 activities on Power point
This week in computer class was fun. We got into groups and had to go through our Activity book for power point. I had a really fun group that was easy to get along with. These activities are easy to do, even though they require some work. They also seem really fun and seem like a good tool that you can use for teaching. They have many different subjects the two that we used were one that you describe a character and you have to put things that they did in your life and the children get to guess who it was. The other one that we did was you are terrific that one was really fun we put everyone that was in our group and put good characteristics about them. For most of us that was the first time we really met each other, but we came up with good things. I think that this will be a really good tool to use in my future, because I think that it will be easy for me to put it together and it will be fun for the children to do it.

Abigail's poo story
The other day I was feeling very good, but that doesn't stop motherhood. Anyway I changed Abigail's poopy diaper and I didn't throw it away. Big mistake!!!! I was just sitting there and I started to smell poo. I was like what is that? I look down at her and she had ripped the dirty diaper open. Had eaten some had some on her hands and some on the floor. It was really gross. So I cleaned her up and took the diaper to the trash. She was crying because she didn't like the taste.
Math midterm
On Monday I had a midterm in my math class. I felt like I did ok, but I knew I made mistakes. Anyway he finally gave us our math test back today. He said the average was 68% and the middle score was 75% so I was kind of nervous then he said that the high score was 98 and 1/2 percent. Anyway he handed out the tests and I got the high score in the class. I was so happy. Now if I could only do that good in my science class.

Picky eater
Ever since Abigail got an ear infection she has been the pickiest eater. She used to eat almost anything that we put in front of her with no complaint, now I try to feed her and she screams and screams and screams. I finally have to give her a sandwich or fruit because those are the only two things she will really eat (except for her dads eggs). It is so hard, because I need her to gain weight but she hates eating. I just don't know what to do. I have tried giving her food off my plate she will only eat a couple of bites then give up. I leave her food on her tray and wait for her to get hungry enough but that just makes her mad. I wouldn't worry to much but she is already under weight. The last time I took her to the doctor he said she was the weight of a nine month old. And she is 15 months old. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get a stubborn 1 year old to eat?
Digital Cameras #2
So last weeks reflection was on the articles I read about digital cameras this week I have to mention ways that I will use a digital camera in my class room.
I think that their can be many ways that you can use a digital camera in your class room. Some I mentioned last week.
1- I think that you could use pictures with your students name tags. That way at the beginning of the year it would be easier for you to remember their names and if you have subs come in to know their names.
2-You can use a camera for class projects if the kids are older and you trust them with a camera this would work really well, you could teach them how to print their pictures and they could make a demonstration of it.
3- When you have a class party you can take pictures of the party and make a slide show of it and show it in class or send it to the parents of the students.
4- If you are trying to teach something you could take pictures of it and show the kids the pictures.
5- You could use it as a birthday chart so when it is one of the kids birthdays their picture will be up.
I think that digital cameras are becoming a big thing. I love my digital camera it is so nice to see the picture right after I take it and if I mess up I can take another one. I think that it will be fun to use in my classroom someday. Just so I can have the memories and the children in my class can have the memories of the year.

Is that Ethical
On the first day of Ethics class, our teacher told us some rules of what not to do in the semester. Don't get engaged in the semester or married in the semester. She promptly said she was breaking one of the rules, because she is getting married in Nov.
Anyway today a girl announced that she got engaged. We were all happy for her, even our teacher went up to look at her ring. My teacher was asking questions and finally asked, when are you getting married. The girl said Jan. 2. My teachers next question to me was not very ethical she asked. Do you have to get married? Then she said I don't. I think everyone in the class gasped at that moment. The poor girl seemed embarrassed, but said no no no.
The best part of this, is it happened in a ethics class. I would not even ask a friend if they have to get married.

Digital cameras
This week in computer class, we learned about digital cameras. I already have one and know how to use it so it was really nothing new for me. I think that they are a really neat tool. At least you don't have to buy film and have to wait for the pictures, you have them right away. You can also get pictures developed if you want. I think for my future if I use a camera for classes that I will buy an extra one for my classes. I want to teach preschool and a lot of them learn by pictures, so it will be a good way to go.
The articles that we read, the first one that I read had a lot of different ways that you can use a digital camera the one that I really liked was to have their pictures with their name tag, that way if you have a sub, they will be able to know who all the students are. I think that is a good idea, also to have their pictures with your roll. The second one that I read talked about how they did a case study and they taught kindergartners how to use a camera and download them on a computer. I thought that was so neat that these kids could do that. The last article that I read talked about what you should think about before you buy a camera like what type of pictures you are going to take and the size.
Someday I want a better camera but what I have now will be fine for my needs now.

my cute sleeper, my little helper
Abigail loves to nap. These are some of the cute poses we got.
She loves to clap. Especially when she thinks she did something good.
Today Abigail was walking all over the house and it got quiet. I was like I wonder where she went I went into our bedroom and she had pulled all the clothes out of the laundry basket and was slowly putting them back in. I am so happy she is trying to help out.
She loves to clap. Especially when she thinks she did something good.

Power point
I have always enjoyed power point. I think that it is a fun tool to use. This week in class we got to play with power point, I can't wait until we can do actual projects. I tend to be a visual learner so I enjoy when my teachers use power point.
I will use it in my future as a teacher. It will be good when I am teaching and want to have pictures or need help explaining things. I think it helps kids understand it better. I think that after a class party you could also make a slide show of the party and show it to your class. A fun thing that I also would want to do is add pictures from the whole year and give the kids from my class a DVD from the year. I think it would be a fun way from them to remember the year forever.

October already
I can't believe that it is October. This year is almost over. I have always liked October, that's when it starts getting cooler, the leaves change their color and are really pretty, Halloween is this month, which I haven't dressed up for a couple of years, but now that Abigail is getting bigger I want to dress her up. But the best thing of October its my birthday YAY and a big one too. I turn 30 this year. I can't believe I have been around for that long. I don't think that I am doing much for my birthday this year. Probably just hanging out with Mike and Abigail.
School is going alright. i am just really busy and its hard to leave Abigail some days. And when she gets sick like today, I can't go to school. Abigail woke up about 11 last night with a fever. After she got up she didn't want to go back to her bed. So finally after trying a couple of times we put her playpen in our room next to the bed and had her sleep in there. The problem with that is she kept crying in her sleep and each time she did it woke me up. She also woke up at 6. I took a nap when she took one this morning and I am still really tired.
