Gatsby

So I mentioned awhile back that I adopted a new puppy name Gatsby. 

He may be cute, but man, has it been a rough road. 

He has been home for almost two months and he is still not potty trained. Just when I think we are making progress he does something like take a running leap onto the couch and starts peeing all over it (this happened about half and hour ago). 

He has the attention span of a goldfish and training has been difficult because I swear he is constantly looking in three different directions at the same time….and none of those directions are on me!

He has even gone so far as to growl aggressively and try to bite me on several occasions for little infractions. For example, one night I was trying to make him move sleeping positions so I nudged his shoulder. Apparently that was enough to warrant an aggressive bite and attempted bite. 

On top of all of that, he just doesn't seem to be bonding with me. He LOVES Rory and would follow her to the end of the earth and back, but me I feel like his reaction is just…."eh"

I am hoping that since my last day of work is over tomorrow I will be able to start an intensive bonding and training regime with him Friday morning. I've spoken to my vet about the situation and I will be using all his advice also. 

Either way I promise some pictures of the little jerk guy…so here you go!

Yea….not happening

Lego Rewards for VIPKid or GoGoKid

So I was looking at the facebook groups today and I saw a lady who's daughter made this for the GogoKid lesson "Apple and Banana" and I thought it was just great! :  Every slide (or every time a student does a good job) you could add a few more pieces to creation and have them guess what it is going to be!  I started looking up other simple creations that my students always talk about and compiled a short list below! (Each picture is clickable for instructions on how to make them) I am sure that if you have children you already have these Legos rolling around in your house somewhere causing havoc on your feet. However, if you are like me and don't have kids yet, you might need a little bit of a starter kit! Click the images below to see them on Amazon.

Backgrounds for VIPKid and GoGoKid

Okay, so right now this is what my background for my VIPKid and GoGoKid classroom looks like: It's cute and it's colorful, but it is just kind of blah.  You guys! I just discovered the coolest thing! Photo backdrops! You can transform your classroom into almost anywhere in the world within seconds and for under $10! Look at all the options! (Click on the pictures to see on Amazon) Those are just some of the backdrops I found within a quick search. Which one do you think I should get for my wall? I have also been doing some research on lighting and I have heard that this is a pretty good setup. Anyone have any other opinions?
