Yay for Christmas! I just finished decorating and I'm so excited! I love this time of year, the music, the lights, the shopping.........and of course the Christmas spirit! We are going to the Kurt Bestor concert on December 12th and I always look forward to that. Anyway, I wish everyone a wonderful Christmas season! Enjoy the Holidays!

So I went to New Moon today and I have to say I am like the teenie-boppers and I am in LOVE with Taylor Lautner! He is sooooo cute and buff and he truly made NEW MOON worth it. If you haven't read the books go just for him.........it's worth it! (I will admit I am a Jacob fan!)

My 7th graders crack me up

So I have to say I really, really love teaching my 7th graders! Of course they can be a little wild but they are funny too! I have one class in particular that really cracks me up and makes me laugh. I can have fun with them and yet they still know when to get back to work! Anyway, I have a really funny student and I always have to make sure he is on task. I was walking past his desk today and he hadn't started yet so I told him he hadn't even started and he better get to work and he said "No Miss Nielson, that's just a fragment of your imagination my assignment is done!" I could not help but laugh! I have heard a lot of excuses in my teaching career but that is by far the best one yet! Anyway, that is a typical work day for me and I love it! They keep me entertained!
