20 Days until Christmas! I'm taking Ron's grandma to Toys 'R' Us this weekend to help her pick out toys for the boys. Ron's putting up her Christmas lights and ours too.
Since coming back from the ACSI Conference I have tried to implement the things I have learned into my classroom. I have started a new blog for my class. I post information on there about tests coming up, our weekly memory verse, homework, spelling lists, etc. A couple of parents have already told me they love it. I have also remembered that not every family has interenet access at home so I do not reward the students who do or punish those that don't.
Another new thing is when trying to get the attention of the class I am trying different attention getters. Usually I say "One, two, three, eyes on me." and my class responds with "One, two, eyes on you." This week I have started them on saying their memory verse when I need their attention. (the extra practice is good). I have also introduced a new review game and they LOVE it!
I'm seeing more and more how big Seth is getting. All 3 of the boys were standing in the middle of the living room staring up at the TV and Ron looked over at me and whispered, "Look how tall Seth is!" Sure enough, he's towering above Evan. I used to think it wouldn't be long before Evan catches up to Seth but must have hit a growth spurt. Also, yesterday Seth and Evan were outside playing basketball with Ron when the ball went over the brick wall that separates our house from the neighbors. Ron jumped the wall and then picked Seth up and taught him how to jump off the wall. I kept thinking "Kaiser...here we come." but Seth's ability to balance himself is great. My little boy isn't going to be little much longer!

I love that Nathan's teacher this year really uses technology to her (and our) advantage. It's so much easier to be able to email a teacher at midnight when I remember the burning question rather than trying to remember to call her at a more appropriate time. Yay for blogs, email, and anything else that helps with communication between parents and teachers!
