Instead of tackling the daunting task of grading the 175+ tests that are sitting next to me, as well as planning tomorrow's incredibly exciting lesson on summarizing, I decided that blogging would be a better option.
Today at school I decided to implement a new technique to get my kids to quiet down quickly and listen when I am talking (this has been a big struggle prior to today). While telling my first period class how the new method would work, one student looked at me, and with all sincerity, tapped his shoulder and said, "Miss Koster, you have a little devil right here." I just smiled.

In between grading papers and planning lessons, I have been having lots of fun! Last weekend, my bff's Mare and Jules ran the Top of Utah half-marathon. I had so much fun going up to Logan with them and watching them finish the race! I was glad I could be part of the cheerleading team! Hopefully I will be crossing the finish line with them next time. :) A special thanks to Ambs for coming to the hotel to get me so I could get to the park!



Here we all are after they finished. Good work, ladies!

I'd like to give a birthday shout-out to two of my favorite people in the world! Kels celebrated yesterday and Mare will celebrate tomorrow! These two ladies are incredible and make life so fun. Happy birthday!!! I love you both!



Well, there you go. I updated. And now I feel better.
I don't think I can avoid those tests anymore...

Have fun grading those tests, now that you have put it off all night...shopping, blogging, oh, and going to sonic for a shake.
I'm glad you had fun in Logan, but I wished you could have come to San Diego with Sky and me... next time!

I'm glad things are going well for you at school. I hope that little devil doesn't give you too much trouble.

Way to go girls on the half marathon. Wow, I don't have energy to watch one let alone run one. I'm so jealous.

Good luck with your man hunt- kids are funny.
