Apple









Today is one of those days that I am so thankful that all of our students have Apple Laptops. These days have been few and far between lately but today I was extremely glad. These laptops enable the students to access the World Wide Web quickly and it really helps when they need to do research for something really quickly.

I also love having an Apple Laptop myself and will forever be a fan. One of my favorite things about the laptop is Photobooth. For those of you who are not familiar with this, it is a little camera that can capture pictures of pretty much anything from your computer. My students love it and are constantly taking pictures of themselves and their friends and making them look extremely cute. Kya and I experimented with Photobooth not too long ago and I posted some of the photos from our session. She loved it and we had sooo much fun with it as you can see.

And one of the other great things I love about my Apple is iMovie. I can record pretty much anything and I have made one podcast on it so far. I have also posted one of the videos that my student made me....its really funny and I think its great that this is what they do in their spare time. Who knows maybe they will be our next great music video producers :)

So last word......I'm definitely a HUGE fan of Apple since I have been at Floydada ISD.

First Post

Hello....

Ok so a lady at work showed me this website to help students keep up with missing work but she also said that she uses it for her family and friends. So I thought I might try it to give updates on our busy lives to family and friends! So this is my first blog.....

I could not figure out what to really blog about today but then Will called and told me that Kya got into the SOUR program with Lubbock ISD. It is pre-K program in LISD in which kids start a year early and they get a little bit of a head start on school.

We are sooooooo for her excited but at the same time we are still a little apprehensive about our baby starting school. We knew it would come eventually but we didn't think it would be this fast. She will be going to Waters, which is where Ty and all the other kids go so we know she will love it all the same.

Well this is the end of my first blog.....I will be writing more very soon I am sure!!
