I can’t believe it! All is quiet in the Newport house and my eyes are actually open. I love that everyone else is getting ready for back to school though. Things in the teachers pay teachers department have been picking up a little and what I like best about that is all of the customizations I am getting to create. Squeezing in little bits here
I have THE MOST exciting news ever!! My baby girl is here! Averie Lauren Newport made a surprise appearance (4 weeks earlier than expected)! She was born June 24th at 6:27 in the evening. What a blessing she is! Even though she was very early she was healthy as can be and cute-cute-cute… we just love her so much! These are some of my favorites!
Hellooooo out there…. anyone?? anyone at all?? I kid, I kid. I know you’re all still out there. It’s me that I am not sure about. Summer has officially arrived and I am sure everyone is just as excited as I am. Boy, it is beyond nice to just go with the flow, march to the beat of our own drum and do whatever the
Well how the heck have you all been!!?? For Pete’s sake I have not been blogging in FOR-EV-ER!! I don’t really have an excuse I am just lazy as ever.

Linking up with Farley here… I just love her. She makes me chuckle at just the right time. The Big Game is finallllly over. I think I would like sports a lot more however, my husband is ALL sorts of serious and makes it a tad bit un-fun. When it comes to football and basketball there is hardly a game we watch that does not
I feel like I am always posting about art projects, but these days it is the only time I am free to snap some pictures! We have been studying Native Americans of the Northwest. To represent the tribes of the Coast we made totem poles and for Inland Valley we made woven mats (my favorite project I have done all year BTW). Each of us
Happy Sunday and Martin Luther King Day! Over the weekend my principal ask me to lead a portion of our upcoming Curriculum and Instruction day. These are those teach inservice days we have been given in place of our prep-time this year. I was asked to talk with our staff about IXL and how I use it in my classroom. If you have not heard
I was giving three of my kids a spelling pre-test today. I try to keep things moving quickly so that we can get it done and move on. Now and then I get into the mode and forget to give them a sentence to go with or rattle off the word too fast. Like so: “Your word is purpose. She worked with a purpose. Your
I think I will start this with a random thought.. I am feeling just a tad bit random as per usual. You know that “Mama” commercial for the movie with the spooky girls? I am sure you do because I feel like it is on every 5 seconds. This is why I cover my ears and close my eyes whenever I watch T.V. or for
