Welcome to The Sweet Pickle Post! I am excited to keep in touch with former students and families, as well as introduce myself to new students and families through this blog! I will try my hardest to keep it updated with pictures and stories of what we are up to in the May household, and I hope that you feel free to comment on different posts to stay in touch with what you are doing!
Why "The Sweet Pickle Post"? Well, if you know me at all, you know that I LOVE pickles. Dill pickles to be precise. In fact, I have been known to raid the cafeteria when they offer these tasty slices to our students. :)
When I started teaching six years ago, I wanted to do a "Star of the Week" program, but wanted a unique name. I remembered the Super Pickle stuffed animals and stories from when I was a kid, and decided that Miss Peterson's Super Pickles sounded pretty cute! Although I am no longer Miss Peterson, I still use Super Pickle of the Week for our weekly feature student.
Pickles have somewhat become our classroom mascot (if you can all a pickle a mascot), and so I thought that an appropriate title for this blog would be "The Sweet Pickle Post" to talk about the new "sweet pickle" that will be entering our lives in August. My cousin, Hannah, had given me a onesie that says, "Sweet Pickle" on it (I told you that everyone knows my love for pickles!), and that is what somewhat triggered that thought.
The Facts:
Jim and I are officially expecting a little GIRL around August 30th! We are so excited to meet her and have her a part of our family. I will not be starting the school year, but will be coming back sometime late fall. It all depends on when she decides to make her appearance!
When we found out we were having a girl, we were set on a boy name (family names) and only had ideas for a girl name. We are still trying to sort that out, and we will make the announcement when it becomes official. :) I would say that the top runners are Amelia and Claire. Both are names that we love.
That is all for now! More to come!
So which name do you like best? I like both.... but Savannah has a better ring to it!
