Sleepy Kitties

I hope you had a great Christmas...

Now that Christmas is over... New Years is coming quickly and the kitties and I are sleepy. :)

This Christmas was very normal like usual except for Jonathan being added to the mix which was awesome. On Christmas night I went to his mom's house to meet his grandparents which was exciting. I am enjoying every moment we have together. Wednesday will be eight months!! How wonderful! We are actually heading out to Memphis, TN for the Liberty Bowl game!! Jonathan is so so so excited. I really believe his blood is purple. I have never seen someone so into ECU tailgating and football!

As far as teaching goes I am a bit nervous about my kiddies taking the EOC. I am scared that they are not as concerned about it as I am, which I know they are not. I have no idea how they will be when they get back from that Christmas break. I am hoping that they will be well rested and ready, but I will probably report back that they were tired and un-ready. I am beginning to get very excited about next semester though because I am going to attempt the well talked about... "Mastery Learning" I have no idea how this is going to go but it will not hurt to try it. Mastery Learning is based upon the idea that you don't move on to a different topic until the students "master" the previous topic. Mastery is defined as 85% or better on the quiz for that topic. It makes sense in my head, but I am sure when I start it is going to flop horribly.... oh well.

Lately I feel I am in a creative slump... I have not been creative in a while and it is driving me crazy! I feel as if I need to find a tiny little room to rent to have all my craft stuff everywhere and just make things.... thats my goal when I retire in 25+ years. I will craft and craft and craft and then sell stuff at little stores and on etsy.com... which is one of the problems with my bank account balance... that and iTunes... ugh haha :)

Well until next time,
