Siamo andate a Parigi

Hannah. Marg. Crystal. Mandi: The roommates take on Paris.

Pictures are worth THOUSANDS OF WORDS.

Loving each other in front of the Palace of Versailles!

BAAAAH ITS BEAUTIFUL!

More loving in front of the Palace Gardens.

Roommates (minus Teagan) at the Palace of Versailles!

YEAAAH BABY. Our hostel was just a few minutes from this beautiful site, as well as many sex shops and strip clubs. OHHH Paris.

FINALLY AT THE LOUVRE. Childhood dreams coming true.

So of course we have to goof off in front of world-famous historical monuments.

The Mona Lisa! (Somewhat famous, from what I've heard) WADDAP DA VINCI CODE.

Sharing a nutella-banana crepe on our walk to Notre Dame.

Loving puppies all over the world. This is why my parents never let me go to the Humane Society as a child. This dog wanted me to take him home SO BAD!! I swear, if I'd had another 1,000 euro....

In front of Hotel De Ville!

Mandi and I played this game at Notre Dame to see who could find St. Denis with his head cut off first. I won. WINNNAA.
St. Denis is behind me, holding his head, on the outside of Notre Dame.

Notre Dame. Bellisima!

Jardin du Luxembourg! 
The Eiffel Tower as seen from the top of the Arc de Triomphe.

In front of the Eiffel Tower at sunset!

Roomies at the Eiffel Tower. The BEST way to end our weekend. :)

Artsy shot.
Creme Brulee for dessert after a delicious dinner in France!
French onion soup.
Cheese fondue.
Creme Brulee.
YUM.

Mi piace Parigi.

mood-o-meter

One of my main goals for my classroom this year is to teach my students how to communicate their emotions and use productive and healthy coping mechanisms. So, I introduce to Miss Forster's first grade class... ....DRUMROLL PLEASE..... The mood-o-meter!! Here's an example of a mood meter that I found online: Basically, here's how it works/how I want to use it. The colors can represent different types of feelings on the spectrum.  Blue: low energy/unpleasant=sad, depressed, sulky, tired, etc. Green: low energy/pleasant=happy, content, peaceful, calm, etc. Yellow: high energy/pleasant=excited, surprised, enthusiastic, etc. Red: high energy/unpleasant=angry, frustrated, annoyed, etc. In our classroom this year, we are going to start the year off by learning about this spectrum of emotions-->the mood meter. We'll discuss what the different colors represent, what someone looks like when they're feeling each emotion, what you feel like doing whe...

"The further you travel, the smaller the world becomes."

Well isn't THIS the truth. Anyways. About two weeks ago, a group of five friends and I took a 10 day backpacking trip of Europe. To sum it up, we went from Rome to Portugal to Spain to the Czech Republic. We visited the cities of Lisbon, Seville, Barcelona and Prague. It was incredible.

Night one of our trip: Sleeping in the Rome airport. Fun Fact: Airports are, in fact, NOT fun to sleep in. Especially when all you packed is one backpack, no blankets, no pillows, and no mattresses. An even MORE fun fact: The Rome airport is cold, especially in October, and especially at night. The next morning, we flew to Lisbon, Portugal! Enjoying the beautiful sunset in Lisbon. (Not posed or anything.) The girls (Mandi, Teagan, me, Allison) walking along the water in Lisbon on our firs...
