Look at me! Two days in a row of bloggering!
So last night was interesting. We had a storm roll through, which was minor, but gave us some much needed rain! We love thunderstorms at our abode, and we welcome a nice electrical show. However....our dog, Tucker, does not care so much for the loud claps of thunder, which typically follow that beautiful display of lightning. Mox, our other dog, doesn't seem to be bothered by the thunder, which is great, because she is scared of most everything else. Her fear often results in a bit of uncontrollable pee; on the floor, in the bed, on your face, wherever she happens to be located at that time. Tucker is not a scared pee queen, but rather a sad, mopey, cuddly bear when fear encroaches on her territory. She will follow you around and look up at you, or sit on your feet when you're washing the dishes. It is incredibly sad, but also so cute!
...Until it is 2:30 a.m. and she is on your head curled up in a ball shaking. Poor bear was terrified from 2:30-4:30 and chose to share a pillow with me until the thunder ceased. I felt so bad, so I stayed up (sort of, if thats what you call that mindless, brain dead, 3 a.m. feeling) and pet on her and cuddled her when she started to wimper and shake.
As a result, I slept in today, and I am a-okay with that! I will be up at 6 a.m. soon enough! Only downfall of waking up late is that when I went to my computer, I found the internet down. I troubleshooted my way through all the usual areas of malfunction after a power outage, but to no avail. Time warner cable is not the best at customer service, so we will see if it's back up when I return this evening. If not, I will have to deal with it bright and early tomorrow morning. (yep, back to that 6 am schedule, all for the sake of the internet!)
Anyhow, since I got nothing done this morning of great value, I will post a few images of the stuff I HAVE been working on for my classroom this year.
Just a heads up: Our school's "theme" this year is outer space. Last May we had a man come and show the kids his solar telescope, and they could look at the flames swirling off the sun...well at least until it got cloudy. Then they didn't really understand why he was there and were very bored.

| When a student is "caught being good" or "caught being helpful, doing something right, etc" he/she puts his/her name in the fishbowl. (this was from our underwater themed year, but has just stuck!) SO I made mine into an astronaut helmet for this year! |
 |
| This little guy is the dead marker monster. He eats the dead markers found in our art room. This way, I can easily remove the lids to save for another project and wont have 19870345804 kids coming to me with markers all class. I found a similar post on pinterest that is really cute. |

| Your basic station sign. This will go above my "done early" bookshelf of supplies. The kids have the above to work on, but can also do play doh and legos if I have specified that it is okay. It depends on what the rest of the class is doing, whether or not it will be too messy or they will be in the way of other students. |
 |
| Some of the adorable projects that 2nd grade completed in May. We knew the theme ahead of time, so I had a few grades do space projects as their final work for the school year. These turned out fantastic and they did a great job of overlapping! |

| These are a couple friends joining in the art room this year. An amazing owl that my mom made! Tobias, the clay monster (Buy one of his friends here!) and of course... Big Tex, icon of the state fair of TX. |
