As I mentioned in my post previous to this, my wonderful sister Auna put together 10 dates for Cody and I. This is the first date we did together. It is numbered as date 2 because we aren't doing them in exact order. All the dates have a description on the back of them because they were all wrapped up all nice and cute so we just get to read it and pick which one we feel like doing!
They don't look like the biggest smiles, but believe me, we were having lots of fun :). It was a long day at school and work. This was the perfect way to wind down.
On another note, I finally got a rug for my classroom! I have wanted one since the beginning of school, but never got around to shopping for one. Fits the theme of my classroom perfectly. Half of my students just wanted to lay on it all day so I am going to use it as an incentive for silent reading.
Personalized memory game? With Jelly Beans? It seriously doesn't get more creative than this! Ok I'll show the set up first, but the actual game is the sweet part. I really am amazed at how she came up with this. It is a treasure we will have for the rest of our lives. You'll see what I mean.
This memory game is a little bit trickier than normal memory because the pictures aren't the same. They are cut in half and you have to find the matching picture.
Unfortunately I am a sucker for anything sweet. I ate just a little too many. Cody luckily has a stop button.
Cody won 18 - 13. He always wins, ha oh well. It's good for me to practice dumbing down my competitive side. He puts be back in my place. He told me a few times that he would have let me get one but knew I would be able to read him and know he was doing it on purpose. He was right.

I could not have got it here without this guy.
Sometimes my students leave me random notes on my whiteboard after school (it's not even valentines day). It literally takes me at least 20 minutes to get them all out of my classroom at the end of the day. I am so grateful to be a teacher though. It is the most rewarding thing I have ever done.
