Easter Weekend

HAPPY EASTER!
This past week has been a very busy one. My 6th grade students went to orientation at Centennial Middle School. That was a eye opener for a lot of my students. They realized that Elementary School and "Mama Strong" is much better that the scary halls and mean teachers at Middle School. Then the next day they had their World Fair Day. My students have been preparing for a whole month for this very important 6th grade day. This tradition has been going on at Canyon Crest for years. Each 6th grader researches a country, writes a report, and then displays their country in our school gym. For 2 hours the whole school walks through and learns about the world. It is really a great learning experience for everyone.
Lets just say I was sooo tired from the week.
Here are just a few World Fair presentations.





On Friday night my amazingly talented husband received an art scholarship and award at BYU. It was a great night and we got a chance to share the night with a ton of special friends.

Easter Sunday was great! We went over to Beth's house and enjoyed a great meal with a traditional Easter egg hunt. The pictures show the excitement of the massive amount of candy that was consumed by the kids!





It was a great weekend. This week is spring break for Provo School District. I have off Wednesday-Thursday-Friday and so Will and I decided we needed a California break and are flying to visit his family. We are both so excited and can't wait to be in the warm weather. Can Thursday please come faster?
Andrew-Michael-Ethan-Jacob-David we are coming! Promise. Can we please play outside in the sun and not in the snow? Can we please play the Wii and can we please go get ice cream one night?

Those kids were amazing. I hid about 60 eggs in that backyard and they had them all snatched up in five minutes.

Candy is the purest motivation for those under 8 years of age.
