The movie CoCo

During the weekend my family saw two movies. On Saturday, we saw the movie Justice League and it was such an awesome movie. I loved it and plan to go see it with my brother.  On Sunday, we saw the movie CoCo and I absolutely loved it. The movie was so emotional and I cried so many times throughout the movie. When the previews first started to come out I was not really interested but as the previews continued to play I started to get interested and I had to see it. I am so glad that I saw the movie because it hands down the best movie in 2017. I can not wait till it comes out on DVD so I purchase my own copy. I would like to see the movie again before it is out of theaters. CoCo is a must see movie!!

Time flies...

This year has gone by so fast it seems like just yesterday was my first day of class and getting ready to meet my students. But it is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is right around the corner and Christmas is not far behind. Before we know it..it is going to be New Years Eve and we are counting down 3...2...1..Happy New Years! It is crazy to think that 2018 is about to be here. It the year I graduate college, get a job and really have to be an adult. Sometimes I want this year just to slow down a bit so I can breathe.  Every year I say that this year is going by really fast but this year seems to be going a lot faster than the past few years. I'm ready to finish this year strong and start fresh in 2018. I just can't believe that Thanksgiving is right away the corner.

Spelling Inventory

Last week I did my first spelling inventory and it did not go as planned. I couldn't tell if my student was goofing around or if he really did not understand how to do it. So once I had finished I spoke with my teacher and we both agreed that I should re do. Today I redid my spelling inventory and tried  a different method that would not get my student frustrated and to where he was able to focus a lot better. While doing the spelling inventory I could see so much more improvement than I did the first time. I was so proud of him and could tell he was very happy with his results. Overall, I really enjoyed this experience and I had fun doing it. Now I know that sometimes I have to make modifications that will benefit the students need and to make them more successful.
