Some Tale of Two Cities Dioramas - 7th/8th Grade

Virginia Beach

I went to Virginia Beach last weekend with the Senior Youth Group and took some pictures from my 10th floor balcony....what a beautiful way to wake up and to end the day.

Part of the Cavalier Hotel that we stayed at. We stayed at the new hotel across the street. This is the old hotel where some of our events were held.

Troll Wedding of the Century

Miss Reed is so cool! She let us have a troll wedding during our lunch/recess. Even the principal showed up to ask why she wasn't asked to do the flowers for the wedding. Welcome everyone to Tina and Trevor's Wedding. (Side Note) I figured as long as it wasn't during class time they could go to it. I was asked to provide my trolls from growing up, so there could be a congregation. And I did the troll vows...for the trolly matrimony. Actually, the whole process was a blast and weeks of prep time. It kept the girls occupied. Invitations went out and everything. What will they think of next!

The seventh and eighth grade human congregation. One of the eighth grade boys said, "Miss Reed, in 50 years, I'm going to pretend like this never happened...but, for now, that was pretty fun".

The groom waiting nervously...

Pastor Paul ready to go...and in the picture you will notice the nailpolish (also known as the rings that would be put on later).

The aisle all ready for the procession...even so much as having flowers spead down the walkway.

Here comes the bride with her father.

Listening to the sermon and the vows. We even had an objection to the wedding but it was overruled and given a 2nd by the human population present.

The Whole Family gathered for a group picture.

Time for the cake.

Trolls and Humans all together for one big picture.


February 21...a day we won't forget.

Now it's time to say goodbye.



Now, who decorated the car??? Don't you like the brides fingernail polish folks. I told you hours went into this. :) Hope you enjoyed the pictures.

When Miss Reed has a camera at recess

One of the things we do in the Middle School is called the "Wall". If you don't turn in homework/dress code slips you have to spend recess on the wall. These two boys are on the wall. They hate it when I take pictures of them while they are there. Look at those faces. :)

I'm not going to look at her.....I'm not going to look at her.....I'M NOT!!!



DARN....She's still there smiling at me....HAHAHAHA

My Eighth Grade girls

Watch out Miss Reed....I will hit you if you don't move with that camera.

Valentine's Day

Today the Middle School had a free dress day as a reward for no dress slips for 2nd Quarter. One of my eighth graders, John, decided to celebrate the day by wearing a suit that his brother gave him...I guess it came from e-bay. We all couldn't stop looking at the color. Wow!

Can you tell I'm the Art Teacher?

My new 6th Graders learning how to be Michelangelo. :) They keep saying their arms hurt.
