Happies

Pretty stressful 12th day~

Taught one of my sweet boys how to draw a heart.  Yes I teach 5th grade and no he didn’t know how.  This is WHY I teach…he is just precious….challenging…even VERY Challenging most days, but then I step back and think…NOBODY! not his parents, not his pre-school teacher, not is kindergarten, first, second, third, or fourth grade teacher, took the time to help him learn to draw a heart!  It literally broke my heart. I’m already in love with him and I hope that he stays in my room long enough for me to give him a chance. {please don’t critique that immensely long run-on sentence}

I NEEDED some Dt. Dr. Pepper so I made a Target run tonight.  An hour later I came home with the CUTEST tissue paper to make some poms so I can hang my table numbers, oh so cute thank you cards, eye make up remover pads (best invention ever), a birthday card, an art box for one of my kids, 3 8 packs of coke, all of which I was SUPER pleased with… and I tried to find the perfect shade of fall purple polish like in this picture

So I tried: Essie, Revlon, Loreal, Sallie Hanson, and O.P.I

Nothing even close…ugh…I came home with Loreal Paparazzi Pleaser, which ended up being super grape… not really a huge fan:

Still on the hunt for a perfect purple and a new fall lipstick!  Any suggestions?

Check back soon for some more Reading Street Resources.

A little bit of Pinspiration this and that

  So we are in a little bit of a hiatus from Reading Street at school and we have been working on a poetry unit, we are teaching fractions from our AMSTI book instead of Go Math! and doing colonies in Social Studies.  As much as I LOVE teaching on my own and not from a book, I am really ready to get back to using our books, and letting them guide my creativity. In the meantime while not at school I have become a bit obsessed with hair and make up.  Let’s just all put the blame on pinterest right now! ha.

I bought the “perfect nude lip combo.”

I personally like a little more color so I paired with a pink lip liner and put the soft peach lip gloss on the bottom and firecracker lip gloss (all from Revlon) on the top and I like it!

I just reapplied for the picture and it is 9:00 so ignore the rest of the day old make-up and the flash.

I am also working on getting my eye shadow to do this:

Im not real good with the fancy brushes haha, I sound like such a red neck right? I’m not, I am just not used to a new way of applying my make up.

Another thing I am in love with is nail polish.  I like the way my nails look when they are acrylic or manicured{gel is my favorite} professionally, but with softball season in full swing those babies have no hope of looking good, hence a waste of $20. So I found this Sally Hasen INSTA-DRI in Slick Slate and less than $5. Notice the almost perfect left hand and then you have the right hand…oh a day in the life of a teacher.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

P.S. a. I have old Lady hands… and b. it is really hard to take a picture left handed…. do they make left handed cameras? Just a thought!

I also am trying anything and everything with my hair.  I saw this tutorial:

tried it and got this result: I’m kinda obsessed and will be doing this often.

Thank you pinterest for all of your pinspiration
