The Last Surprise......

I know all of you who have been reading this blog are dying to find out what my last surprise is. Well, the time has come for me to let you in on the little secret.....




Although it looks as though I am expecting in this picture, we all know this is not true. So what do I have under my shirt you ask......










Let me explain....One nice day I was teaching as a good teacher should do when I noticed a pregnant man in the hall. I teach across the hall from the Health class. I bet you can guess what they were learning about this wonderful day. How could I let this opportunity pass me by? I couldn't...let's just say that lunch time activities reached an all new high that day.

Side note....today in class I tried to convince my students that there was a real rule that said you can't kiss until you are married. I had a few of them believing me. I told them this rule was included in the same rule book as the No talking to strangers rule, and the always looking both ways before you cross the street rule. I am pretty sure I had them believing me until my quiet shy little student yelled "My sister has a boyfriend and they kiss all the time, they even French." Needless to say that is where the conversation ended and we continued on with the English essentials we were learning.

I can not believe that this school year is almost over. I am so lucky to have the job I have, I love the kids I teach and the people I work with. I have had so many amazing experiences and I laugh at least 500 times a day. I wish you all could come for a day to experience this event.

Here are a few of the highlights from this school year,

Cheer Camp: For those of you who haven't experienced cheer camp, just imagine boot camp with a billion cheering girls. GOOD TIMES



The coaches thought it would be fun to sabotage the girls rooms HA HA HA



The next great adventure was my own garden and canning extravaganza








Yes I am wearing my I love Edward T-shirt, that I made:) I wore it to the gym once and someone asked me if my husband's name was Edward. Can you say embarrassing?

After a whole summer of working away at the garden, here is the finished product



One of my most favorite events at Payson high is the Mr. Payson Pageant. I have been in charge of this pageant for several years, and let's just say Hilarious!!

The pageant includes events such as: Best Legs, Cake decorating, Talent, Swimsuit, Evening wear and much more. This year the theme was Hercules. Here are a few of my favor tie pics of the cakes.









Yes, those are all cakes and they were all made by boys. After they are judged, we cut them up and serve them to the student body. So much fun!!!

In March I went to Disney Land with the Cheerleaders and my mom. It was so much fun. I love Disney Land so mcuh, I am pretty sure I want to live there. I have a ton of pics, but I don't want to post them now. I will save them for a later post.

Last but not least my favorite experience of this year happened just toay, I have a student who has severe dyslexia. At the benning of this year he was reading at a lower second grade level. Today I gave me another assessment and he increased by three levels. I almost cried. I am so proud of him, he has worked so hard this year, and I am confident that next year he will improve even more. When I told him how far he'd come he was so excited. It was a great day!!!


Well finally I will tell you the real surprise.......I was voted Payson High School's teacher of the year. Yea Me!!! What an honor.

Well I realize that my last few posts have been rated PG-13, I promise that the next post and all the posts to follow will be rated G.
