Wall Worth

What's a wall worth? Some say it distracts, others say it heightens concentration. I say, a little color goes a long way. As a new educator, I am slightly lacking in my school room decor. However, some lovely co-workers of mine have assisted in the Mrs. Smith classroom wall fund. I think they took pity on my sad walls. Amazingly enough, despite the craziness of pre-planning week, the crafty and creative history teacher actually put my bulletin board together for me! I am really actually blessed to work where and with whom I do. It's truly a blessing.
Anyway...I had printed off a few exceptional quotes and verses on simple computer paper, and she actually laminated them and then put up a bunch of her own scrapbook paper. The picture might not do it justice, but it sure upgraded the walls in my classroom!  Now I just need a little rest before those high schoolers come barging in Monday morning. Maybe they will be so mezmorized by the board that they'll be speechless on day one! (or maybe I'll just need a lot of coffee)

I'm SO excited!!!

  1. It looks great! I always loved wall decorations in the classrooms. They made everything feel more comfortable and less sterile.

If you are a "Friends" watcher as I have been known to be, you will appreciate that quote. I am getting to see the Chandler Bing's greatest fear--Michael Flatley and the "Lord of the Dance" performance. I am so excited! I've seen a lot of different types of performances in my lifetime (even the gravely strange or soberly artistic modern dance shows), but I've never seen an Irish Riverdance! My mom got tickets for us back in October for my birthday. She is so astute and thoughtful! In case you aren't familiar with "Lord of the Dance." Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Mr. Flately's Dance: "Lord of the Dance is an Irish musical and dance production that was created, choreographed, and produced by Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley, who also took a starring role. Michael Flatley found his first fame starring in Riverdance, but he left the show in 1995 before its debut in London after a disagreement over creative control. F

When you smile...

The whole world smiles! This was his very first "conscious smile" Who says you can't dress up little boys for fun too? Silas enjoyed sleeping at the lake instead of fishing or swimming. Anyone surprised? Our newest pastime consists of singing to Silas until he shows us his new array of smiles. Matthew discovered this newest ability when he began singing a classical ballad... I won't embarrass him by naming the lyrics. It doesn't matter how tired you are, this will make everything better! I mean come on. Are you still having a bad day? Did that make it better yet!? Had my  first few outing without the little man to go to coffee, dance, and this beautiful woman's wedding shower. Love you Christi! Thanks to my old roomie for some over-sized coffee mugs to start my day right. A cup of joe and the Word make life worth living. This is his favorite gesture.  I think he's solving the world's problems. That a boy Silas. I knew
