Thankful Thursday

My first post for February.  Sad.  I really can't help it though.  Why?  Patrick and I have no Internet at our home, so this means I have to go to my mom's house anytime I want to get online.  And... most of that time spent online is for my student teaching.  FYI: My life pretty much = student teaching.  Simple as that.  So hopefully we will be getting Internet soon.  Hopefully...

Anywho, I thought this would be the perfect time to blog about the things I am thankful for.  Hence: Thankful Thursday.

1) SHAPOPOLIS (a.k.a. My Labor of Love) - The 6th graders I am student teaching for have just finished learning about basic geometric terms and shapes, such as angles, polygons, quadrilaterals, line segments, etc.  So I built them a geometry planet that they are going to "launch" geometric aliens on tomorrow.  The students got to suggest their own names for the planet and vote for their overall favorite name.  The winner?  Shapopolis.  I love it!  So, here are the "before" pictures of my hard work:

Day One (obviously).  This took me FOREVER to do!!  Notice the various angles and shapes of the geometric planet?  :)

Day Two.  I finished Shapopolis yesterday.  Yayy!  I am very proud of my Labor of Love.  Just in case you can't see it, the trapezoid sign says "Population of 73."  So tomorrow (Friday) the students are going to launch their geometric aliens onto Shapopolis.  I will definitely take some pictures so I can show off the final product.  I am excited!  :)

2) My Hair Appointment Next Week!!   My roots are HORRID....  and I reallyyy want to get more layers in my hair.  So I'm going to show this picture to my hair lady:

That would be Annalynne McCord from 90210.  She has the perfect haircut.  I hope mine ends up looking somewhat like that?  I will just have to wait until next Wednesday to see. 

Have a blessed weekend! :)
