Today sweet little Lucy (AKA perfect student) in my class celebrated her birthday. For each student's birthday we make little birthday wish books to give to each other. Each kid makes their own page and to kill time for my sake I told them that we love our classmates so much that we

Worst combo I think my body has ever experienced. I feel like I just got shot in the stomach. I don't know if my heart will ever desire me to eat cheesecake again. Well. I never really liked it anyways. Just got back from my sister's "open house" (Another way to get more

I am seriously blogging about my brother right now. Mostly because his wonderful life was celebrated this month. But also mostly because it's wonderful to have a brother who is so close in age to me and who is one of my best friends. He is one of my most favorite people in

Success

I now count my days as successful or not by the way my classroom ran for the day. Last week I felt like I was the crazy teacher who disciplined way too much. Well I did some life reflection during fall break and I already have seen a change in the relationships that

Alma 37: 6 Now ye may suppose that this is afoolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by bsmall and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise. So every mormon has their favorite scripture right? Well it took me a

Well Ladies and Gents I think my problem of tattle telling has been resolved, but little did I realize behind the beauty of it all that I was going to receive hate mail from one of my kiddos. OK. I let it effect me for a second. And maybe it still is because

What Kind of teacher am I?

Beck Shep 7:15 PM 0 Comments

Well so far I've realized I am a strict teacher. BUT I have discovered my extreme desire to just have control over the class so I can love them even more and give them the best education possible. I SERIOUSLY want to spoil these kids. Will they let me? I sure hope so.

I've discovered as I get older and older..(ok in my 20s still) But I've discovered that I experience new feelings as time goes on. Seriously. I don't know if any of you have ever had one of those moments where you stand there and think "What the heck is this that I'm feeling"

Well here it is. This is Aspen Elementary where I will be spending the rest of the school year being a teacher to a cute little 3rd grade class!! Tomorrow I get to meet my kiddos and hopefully be able to love them just as much as I have loved my 5th/6th graders

Hilarious with time.

Beck Shep 11:16 PM 0 Comments

Ok... So YES I like most everyone I meet. But I came to a realization that the friends I end up being the closest to all end up being the most hilarious people I know. They don't start off attracting me with their humor.. but within a time of being friends with them

AMAZING!

Have you ever met someone who is just so in tune with the spirit that when you need them most they are there.... and yet they have no clue what is going on in your life! Well today was a pretty rough day for me. One of those days you just won't forget.

Is this my Job?

Camping with 60 little girls in the middle of the woods. Singing the latest and greatest songs during class. Playing dodge ball against 70 5th graders. Dominating the 5th grade soccer team and having them tell me I was off sides. Having 35 10 year old children sit quietly and read for an hour while I
