miss kaley and pink towels.

I have had the world's greatest high school intern for the past 5 months in my classroom!  She's done (and was willing!) everything from correct math facts tests, spellings tests, read with my kiddos, compile homework and homework folders, and even take over the class for a couple of hours when I had to leave for a training meeting (the sub was there, of course, but Kaley took the reins while the sub sat back and relaxed).

Meet Kaley.  She's also the secretary's daughter.  She also works as a custodian at Rock Canyon.  She's also graduating from high school next week.

She's also going to be the world's greatest teacher in the future.  Seriously.  This girl has got a catching personality and the kids love her!

Why yes, I did say she has an incredible personality...

Exhibit A.

 I'm kind of jealous that the Kindergarten teachers get her as a classroom aide next year and I don't.  I've told her time after time that I want her to be my student teacher when she gets into her practicum experiences.  She's THAT good.

So good that she gets everything done super fast and she loves to laminate and cut out materials.  She even alphabetizes and color codes everything I give her to do.  I love it.  She's as OCD as I am, which is awesome.  That's the sign of a good teacher in the making!

Today was also our class Field Day.  T helped me fill up 100+ water balloons last night and get everything ready for other water games and relays.  He's truly the best husband for a teacher.  He's always by my side when it comes to preparing activities and materials for my class!

 {163 water balloons.  I counted.}

We also found a purpose for the ugly towels we got for our wedding that we couldn't return.  Enter water balloon volleyball for a bunch of 2nd graders!

{These towels are an ugly pink in real life.  And those turquoise ones underneath are blindingly bright!}

And who seriously gives pink towels as a wedding gift?  I remember opening them up 3 years ago and turning to T and laughing out loud.  We seriously contemplated putting them in the bathroom for when people came over.

Though pink towels do hold a special place in my heart due to the fact that my grandma has a completely pink bathroom with pink towels.  Pink towels remind me of grandma's house, which is always a good thing.

Tomorrow T's sister is getting married.  We're excited to spend time in the temple with her and her soon to be hubby!  Her endowment on Wednesday was already a fantastic spiritual experience for the whole family.  

I love to see the temple!
