Cool Down...

First of all, I LOVE this weather! The clouds, the light breeze, the drizzle...its amazing! Since its been so cloudy, there have been some AMAZING sunsets!!! Here is a pic of one that I saw!

Its too bad that it is going to get warm again!

Back to school night was Thursday. It was great to see my teacher talk to the parents and I was soo thankful that I didn't have to talk, ha. Those parents are a little intimidating! It was nice to see the parents being so supportive of thier children and asking questions. It was also nice to see how the "back to school night" speech goes because one day I'll be doing it. YIKES

Well, yesterday my master teacher was gone, so I was in charge (evil laugh muahaha). It was a realllly fun and the kids were really behaved, which made my job easy. I taught the whole day and I felt like a real teacher! I only have 3 weeks left at Price, then I'm off to teach those little 5th graders, like it or not!

We have been hanging out with Val and Todd lately, which has been nice! It sucks that they are so far! Here are some pics:

Well, I hope everyone is doing well! Its already October! Crazy!

Carson's Prayer..

My nephew carson is the cutest, most rambunctious, boy ever!

I got a text message from my Mom last night titled: Carson's prayer.

I had to share.

"Dear God heaven, thank you for mommy, pray Travis no monsters

thank you for food. amen"

bless his little heart.

I'm such a proud auntie!

Falling into Fall...

Hello!!

Since I started student teaching, I have had no time for internet....no facebook, no perez hilton (gossip), no blogging updates! Thank goodness for work on saturday mornings :) I have been very tired coming home from long days @ school, Joel said "Welcome to the working world" ha.

I am half way through my first placement, crazy I know! I really really enjoy teaching. I was hoping I wouldn't be one of those people who get graduate college with a major in education, do student teaching, and find out I hate it! I LOVE IT! :) Its so nice to do something that is so rewarding. To see the little light bulbs click on in the kid's brains makes my day! Even the trouble makers have a special place in my heart. At the end of my 8 weeks at Price, I will be heading over to Carpender Elementary school. Its only a 4th and 5th grade school. I'm excited and its waay closer to my house, which means more sleep!

Last weekend, We took the trailer out to El Mirage (Victorville) and took out the Rhino and bikes! It was a lot of fun, but super hot! I'm excited for Glamis/Dumont this fall!

Nothing else is really going on in the Bomgaars Fam. I'm looking forward to fall...cold weather, pumpkin candles, brown/ green colors..i just love it!

Enjoy the last few weeks of September!

A new adventure!

Although I am only 2 days into student teaching, i absolutely love it! I was not sure how I was going to like 3rd grade, but the students are wonderful and i love the curriculum!

My first day (wed) started off with me changing my master teacher. I was a little freaked out, but my new teacher is amazing and so helpful! I did my 2 "welcome/get to know you" activities and they were a hit! I have also been reading outloud to the kids from "Flat Stanely", which is a super cute book!

I love my school & the staff- I couldn't be in a better place!

Thats the update for now!

p.s. Every friday the 3rd grade teachers eat at EL TACO for lunch, it is bomb. I may turn me into a fatty, but oh well its SO good! :)

And so it is...

Things have been crazy around here! Lots of new experiences!

Today is my second to last day working for my gramps. It's kinda a bittersweet moment. I am happy to be starting my "Career", but I'm sad to be leaving the place I have been for about 7 years...No more jeans and tee-shirts everyday, free lunch, free car washes, TV, air conditioning, and unlimited Internet. All good things must come to an end..i guess. :-/

I am way stoked about starting student teaching! 3rd grade is going to be so fun! I went to my school, met my master teacher, and got keys to the teachers lounge and classroom -I feel so official! :) I absolutely love my teacher. Its going to be a great 8 weeks.

I officially start on Wednesday (teachers meetings all day) and the kids come on Thursday! I have been brushing up on my cursive handwriting and realized why I never write in cursive... I don't write any of the letters correctly and I have issues with some uppercase letters- its hard!!! Poor kids. haha
Last week Megan and Courtney moved in next door! It is going to be great having them so close and just a walk away!! I also have been helping Chelsey set up her 5th grade room. Her room is adorable! She has some great ideas! I cannot wait to set up my own classroom! All in good time, first I need to get through student teaching!

I think that sums up my life thus far!
I'm headed to San Clemente for the holiday weekend!

xxoo

Summer is almost gone :(

Hello hello everyone!

I have not updated in while- nothing new is really going on!


We have had tons of mini vacays this summer and we have two more left (Big bear & San Clemente) until I start teaching! This month we went to the Redwood's for the weekend with my family! Ive been going there since I was little so I really enjoyed going back. There is somethign about being surrounded by these huge redwood trees and you feel so small. Its cool.



I'm going shopping tonight for "teacher clothes" whatever that looks like. I'm going to be very bummed not wearing jeans and a romberg mill tee-shirt everyday!



I bought tickets with some friends to the Sara Bareilles concert in October, which I am so excited about! She is AmAzInG!

Anyway, Jenna told me about this website... www.freerice.com
You kinda play a game and word you guess right, they donate 20 grains of rice to children in poverty! cool huh?

Well thats all for now, folks! Two more weeks of freedom!!!
