So far...

BE prepared for a LOOOONG post!

Sorry for the lack of updates! I am LOVING Rocky Ridge!!! My teacher is great and the kids are all so sweet! I will have to scan in some of the letters they wrote me for y'all to read...they are hilarious! I had a big "Welcome Miss Schneider" sign to greet me when I walked in the classroom! So sweet!! I have 9 boys and 4 girls and let me tell you those boys are a hand full! They mostly have normal names, unlike my inner-city kids! Thank goodness!!! I do have one kid named Mooaweya (Moo-OW-e-uh). Yes, you read that right. His family is from Palestine...he is too cute! My cooperating teacher is great, she is very helpful and SO funny! All I am doing right now is observing and helping out as needed and I start teaching Language Arts next week. I have the whole unit layed out for me which is SO great! The book she gave me even has like a script of what I am supposed to be saying as I teach it...YAY! Anyway, my nanny job is going good too...it's very very busy, but Bayona is the sweetest thing ever. Poor thing is pretty sick right now, so grandma is keeping her!

My poor Lexie got spayed yesterday. They had complications during the surgery with anesthesia, though, and said she never would breathe right and were REALLY worried about her and said they she scared them that she wasn't going to make it. UM, really do you have to tell me that if she's okay now. THANKS!!!!! UGH! I took her in originally cause she had some weird lumps in her belly and it was very swollen. They told me that she may have a tumor or it could just be her hormones as she would probably be going into heat any day, but he didn't know. The vet biopsyed that area and said he would decide if he wanted to send it off when she came back to get her staples removed. But, she is home now and is very calm and quiet (not my Lexie...poor baby!) Anyway, now that I have talked y'alls heads off!

Read the letters below...they are great!!!! Haha! Kids are hilarious...keep in mind they are 8/9 years old. I hope you all are staying warm and doing great!! It snowed off and on here today! Love y'all!

CLICK ON THEM TO MAKE THEM LARGER TO READ! The bottom 2 letters are from the same person (it's 2 pages...she decided to tell me her life story! haha)
