The Falcon's Nest: Back to School
http://ourfalconsnest.blogspot.com/2016/09/back-to-school.html
Home is a feeling. Wednesday, September 7, 2016. To start eighth grade with a class selfie! I love getting to be the eighth grade homeroom teacher (because eighth graders are awesome) and this year I love it even more. This little group is so much fun! In my opinion the first day of school absolutely is a holiday and you'll never convince me otherwise. My kids agree, fortunately. They were slightly. Excited to start school yesterday. No one wanted a Frozen backpack this year! Wonders will never cease!

The Falcon's Nest: November 2016
http://ourfalconsnest.blogspot.com/2016_11_01_archive.html
Home is a feeling. Friday, November 11, 2016. Yesterday the entire school went on a field trip to Medieval Times, pre-schoolers through seniors. It was a really fun day AND it was perfect for reinforcing and highlighting everything we're covering in history and literature school-wide this year. Jousting, sword fighting, falconry, the code of chivalry.plus now I have the perfect example to clarify the word "anachronism" for my kiddos who are reading The Sword in the Stone. It's not just that all of these ...

http://ourfalconsnest.blogspot.com/2016/09/quick-takes.html
Home is a feeling. Friday, September 16, 2016. 1 Our girls did a fantastic job at their volleyball game last night! I'm pretty crazy about these chicas.the team this year is 80% of my homeroom plus a few more older darlings. Isn't it great how they can go from cutesie pose mode to warrior beast mode (and then back again! Home to dinner and bed with minimal angst. Don't mind me, I'm just the crazy girl who hauls her dozens of children everywhere she goes! To match.and they always say how they want to,...

Home is a feeling. Bookworms and Beaches and Babies, Oh My! Friday, July 22, 2016.

Regardless of the fact that if we're friends on Facebook you've probably already seen like, a hundred percent of these pictures! Just look at this delicious baby nerd of mine some more! I think I probably whined more than the baby! Traveling with a charming, flirtatious little baby is the best. My child l...

The Falcon's Nest: October 2016
http://ourfalconsnest.blogspot.com/2016_10_01_archive.html
Home is a feeling. Saturday, October 29, 2016. In case you were wondering, we don't only. Read Very Old Books in my literature classes. We mostly do but I like to mix things up a bit, especially for the eighth graders. They have to read different things than the rest of the upper school anyway, or they'll end up possibly repeating books their senior year. Only possibly,. Because I am a wild thing, given to CHANGING THE BOOK LIST without any notice! We read Shadow Spinner. No, but really, I kept timing it...

The Falcon's Nest: Village Life
http://ourfalconsnest.blogspot.com/2016/10/village-life.html
Home is a feeling. Tuesday, October 25, 2016. I have approximately five hundred random mini-posts rattling around my brain these days.things I haven't got around to writing, or haven't figured out how. To write, or maybe just aren't quite enough on their own to write about but don't seem to really go with anything else. So like a nice, disciplined, rule-abiding English teacher ( ahem! All bets (and lessons! Are off when there's a baby in the classroom, though. We raided the costume room and had a blast&#...

The Falcon's Nest: August 2016
http://ourfalconsnest.blogspot.com/2016_08_01_archive.html
Home is a feeling. Wednesday, August 31, 2016. Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May. And summer's lease hath all too short a date. It's the last day of August, we're. In the middle of our teacher in-service week, and I'm about to switch out our pool bag for our football game bag. The girls have finished their summer workbooks, which I officially love. If you go to Flint you're going to hear ALL about how much I love them and how much I think you should do them come next May. Probably it's largely...

The Falcon's Nest: January 2017
http://ourfalconsnest.blogspot.com/2017_01_01_archive.html
Home is a feeling. Back to the Blog. Monday, January 9, 2017. The first week of the spring semester is officially in the books and I just realized I haven't updated this blog since early November. Oops! Holidays, y'all. Holidays. Ours were amazing. The Fall semester seemed to fly by and I really loved having the break time to rest and reflect. In between the fun and festivities I managed to get quite a few days of Total Hermit Mode, which is just exactly what my little introverted soul needed. The entire...
