Building in Texas!

Habitat for Humanity.....

Last Saturday, a friend and I went building at the Habitat site for the last time in Texas.  I will be leaving Houston in two weeks.  I was very happy to see all the helpful builders for the last time and could not believe the progression we have made on the homes since we had started.  This weekend we were finishing shingling the second home and they were already finished with the electrical part of the home.  I was so happy to finally see these two homes come together after working on them for the last couple months.

Good luck to Habitat for Humanity Baytown and thank you for the wonderful opportunity of volunteering at your site the last couple months.... God Bless Yall!

You are Special!

(Oct 29th) Last week I had the opportunity to read to students at Johnson Elementary in Kindergarten.  I went into 5 different classrooms through out the day and  read the story, "The One, The Only, Magnificent Me!"  They really enjoyed the story and afterwords the all got the chance to create their own personal crown.  The students had so much fun wearing their crowns around school all day and were so happy to have a princess come into their classrooms!

I had a wonderful time at the schools and these opportunities make me more happy everyday to become a Teacher!

LEARN, LOVE, LAUGH

"I am Special, I am Special

and you are too, and you are too.

Let's get together, Let's get together

and come to school, and come to school."

School Carnival... Celebrating Education!

(Oct 29th) Last Friday we had our annual Fall Festival Carnival at school.  I had so much much meeting the families, students and helping out at different games through out the night.  We had a very good turn out and raised lots of money for our school.  My students had a wonderful time and the could not wait to share with me on monday their stories about the festival. 

Happy Fall Y'all!!

Houston Habitat.... the homes are coming together!!

(Oct 30th) Last Saturday, a good friend and I built at the Habitat site near Houston.  It was very a neat to see how the homes have progressed since we were at the site a few weeks ago.  The grass that we laid was growing in very well and the volunteers were so happy to see us again.  The people you meet at building sites will always leave you with wonderful memories. 

This weekend we helped with shingling the roofs of the homes and sheds.  I was very proud of us that day, after working in the 90 degree heat and completing two shed roofs and one home!  As a team we can do outstanding work... I cant wait to go back this coming weekend and volunteer with everyone!
