Confi-Dance

My favorite day...Dance Day! The day Audrey lights up the stage and truly shows her confi-DANCE!









This is Cassie Cooper's studio "Footloose".


These are the greatest group of girls...and beauties inside and out!

Kinder-garden in the Spring

I love Kindergarten! Here are some amazing learning experiences we had in the Spring.

Hatching chicks!





Pulling teeth!


Field Tripping to Dinosaur World!



The thing I love most about my classroom is who I share it with!

It is incredibly fulfilling to me to take a group of "babies" and watch them grow and learn so much in their first year of school! I make it my goal for them to love school!

They all become "my" kids and are hard to let go. Here they are reading their memory books of the year, and yelling excitedly, "Mrs. Deal, remember this? Remember this?"

Thank you for creating me for this job and this job for me, God!

The K Team

I love my coworkers so much. They are one of the greatest blessings in my life. And it all began with a prayer circle...

School these Days

Our girls love everything about school. They have exceptional teachers and wonderful classmates. We are always very proud of their hard work and achievements. First and third grade have been no exception! Here are some fun moments this Spring:

I like to swipe Audrey when I can to help me in my room. And she would stay in Kindergarten with me all day every day if she could! Her dream: to be a Kindergarten teacher.


Brenna remembers everything about Kindergarten and enjoys reliving those memories through my students! I actually ask her advice ALOT! They both especially love our chick hatching project...




Audrey took her first STAAR test this year. Believe me, it was a frustrating source of worry and anxiety for both of us. But it grew us both together spiritually as we trusted God to help her through! On our way to school on the day of her test, God gave us a beautiful image straight through our windshield. Brenna said, "Look! The sunbeam is pointing into the car!" We all realized quickly that God was pointing at us, reminding us that with the sword of His spirit, He would fight for us! It was incredibly comforting. This image also brought tears to Audrey's teacher's eyes. And Audrey did great on the test, of course!


First grade program...Brenna is top right!



Perfect Attendance, Rockin' Reader, Vocabulary Star, RMCity leader, Academic Excellence, PE Award, AR Award....Show Off!!

Third Grade Program...Audrey is in the very middle!

Wonderful Mrs. Davis

There was a mixup in Audrey's Perfect Attendance award, so Mr. Stahnke hand-delivered her award to her in class!

We love our principal if you can't tell!

What an exceptional year for our exceptional daughters!

Earrings

Audrey was so excited about getting her ears pierced. She only nearly passed out for a few minutes!

1st at the Zoo

Brenna's first grade field trip to the zoo was a blast. I love spending time with all of these firsties and their moms!

Here's Brenna lifting Garner so he can see better 😉




This jaguar was extremely playful and friendly! The kids were squealing with laughter as he pawed at their hands. (Unfortunately a few weeks later, he escaped and harmed a spider monkey!)



Amazed at the mountain lion walking around and jumping on and off his perches...

I am so thankful I got to go on this fun 1st trip!
