Where ya been??

Ok....So I haven't been here and posted for awhile.

Life, school, home, etc. has taken ahold of my computer life and won't give it back!
I am really having such a wonderful school year. I knew this change would be the right move. God has proven Himself over and over again to me that, yet again, He know's what He's doing!
I am so thankful that I am in the "Life Skills" (you probably call it Home Economics) position.

This week my students have been sewing! I know what you're thinking..."Ain't no WAY I'd have 7th and 8th graders anywhere NEAR a sewing machine!" I almost thought the same thing and almost freaked out when the day came, but seriously it has been a BLAST!
I have laughed so many times this week at my big middle school boys, football players mind you, who have really enjoyed sewing. I am still amazed at how much kids enouy doing something "hands-on" during the day instead of note-taking, and listening to lectures.

So...
Here's what the back of my classroom looked like 2 days ago...

And here's a picture of what it looks like now.....

And here's how I feel right now.....

But...when these babies take their pillows home tomorrow, and they can show their handiwork to their parents and be proud of it, it will all be worthwhile...
Have a great day!
