100th Day of School!

-
Not to long ago we had the 100th Day of School, my co-teacher and I decided to mix some fun in with lessons. We hid 100 Hersheys kisses all through out three classrooms, the basement, kitchen, entry ways and hallway. The children were given about an hour first thing in the morning to find them, they hunted the place up and down and even found the ones I put in hard places! Last period we played a lot of Minute To Win It games. Those were so much fun to watch, some of the children had really good coordination! We were missing some students that day but it was still fun, we wish they all could have been there! 


We split the school into three groups and picked a hunter from each group, the rest of the children were hounds. The hunters could not find the Hershey kisses we hid but their hounds could, then the hounds barked until the hunter came and got the kiss. It was hilarious! The school sounded like a dog pound for about 45 minutes. For the most part they found all the kisses within an hour, later during break they found the remaining ones, all but two,  which us teachers forgot where they were. After the children left for the day we did find them. It was funny, some of the students would totally miss the kiss and move on to a different place! We would just laugh and see who would finally notice it. :) 


The boy on the left was a hunter and his little brother was a hound, that was totally missing the chocolate kiss up on the bulletin board. Mr. Hunter had spotted the kiss. :)





My poor room was sooo inspected, especially after they knew three more kisses were in there.



"Yes Miss Young really put one in there!"

Winter in Ohio

Image
 The above scene is typical up here in Ohio, although this year was unsually warm and not much snow. Just a few weeks ago we had around an inch of snow, in April! But the 60's and 70's have come and we are so enjoying the beautiful weather. It did get very cold here for a few weeks, I was about ready to go back south when I went to school and it felt like -15! It was sooo cold!! We had one big snow in February, I had never seen so much snow in one spot before! The snow piles were almost as big as the buildings! Below are some pictures of my winter experiences here in Ohio..... -15....when it's so cold it hurts to breath outside, I won't ever forget those cold mornings! I learned very quickly how to drive on snowy/icy roads. This is a very common sight when it snows. They are very quick on clearing all the main roads! Cleaning off a snow filled car was not my favorite job after teaching school all day! Especially when it is freezing co...

Our cooks and kitchen helpers did a wonderful job at our reception! James and Rose Miller did a amazing job as our reception coordinators. It was an honor to have the couple I lived with while teaching, come to my wedding and have part! This dear lady has had such an impact on my life, and she too had a part in my wedding. Barbra Kauffman did a beautiful job on our cake, plus it tasted so good!! The topper on the cake has a story to it....the first time Josiah alluded that he loved me was when we were in a gift shop. There were many plaques I was enjoying looking at, and he found one that had the saying "love you to the moon and back" and said he should buy it for me. Later that night he told me his true feelings about me, and weeks later he gave me a plaque with that quote on it. I have loved that quote ever since! Our servers were a great set of people! I...

Anniversary Trip

For our first wedding anniversary we decided to take a big trip up north. I have always wanted to see the north eastern states and Prince Edward Island in Canada, and Josiah has a plan to visit all the 48 states that are together in his lifetime. So we planned a trip to hit all the key places along the way. I chronicled the trip in photos and picked the best to share on here. The above and below photo was are first stop, Horseshoe Bend in Altoona, PA. This site had some family ties and Josiah has always wanted to see it. His great-grandfather helped to build this track around the bend during the depression. Walking everyday for two hours to earn money! Now it is amazing to be standing there seeing and feeling the effects of a train on three sides of you. You can pay to go up by the track, but since we were passing through we decided to enjoy the entire view from the parking lot. Our next stop that day was Philadelphia. Here we saw Independence Hall (pictur...
