I said "YES!"

The Proposal

Matt proposed to me Friday, January 22nd at Klode Park under the cloudy night sky as the waves of broken ice pieces lightly crashed into the snowy shoreline. It is my favorite place to go because of the beautiful view of Lake Michigan. We waked down the hill to where the beach is to look out over the lake and then Matt turned me to face him, he got down on one knee, said his proposal speech, and asked me, "Jeanette Nowak, will you marry me?" I of course said "YES!"

Matt and I after he proposed to me!!

Cosmo is modeling my ring on his ear. What a sport!! :)

It is aquamarine and meteorite. I don't like diamonds.

orgonized at spelling

Reply
Mrs. Nowak-Goniu
1/29/2016 08:42:30 am

Well, first would be to start a journal and write about things you enjoy, your day, or stories you've made up. Then, circle the words that you know were not spelled correctly and go look up how to spell them either using a dictionary or on the computer. Practice writing those words that are challenging with different sentences and start using those words in your everyday conversation. The more you use words in spoken and written language, the easier it will be to spell. Another idea is to know the sounds that letters make and sound out the words aloud when reading them and then close your eyes and try spelling them in your mind. Then, take a piece of paper and say the word and try spelling it. Lastly, reading as much as possible will increase your spelling. The more familiar you are with words the more likely you will be to spell them correctly because you have seen them over and over again.

I hope this helps!! Good luck :)

And i really like your ring! My mom doesn't like diamonds either, she likes meteorite. I still love learning about cephalopods. I still do research at home and I've really learned a lot about marine life in general. I also learn a lot from my dad because my dad loves sea life.We all miss you very much!😉😊😇

Thank you! I choose the one from a book my mom found with different styles of Kate Middleton, from England. Her hair type is similar to mine so I figured it would look good on me too.

The new school is exactly where I hoped I would work when I was thinking of my dream job. I do miss all of you and am honored to have learned from all of you and you all challenged me to become better.

Well, tell your mom there are a few jewelry stores online like Cross Jewelers that have meteorites. They have a necklace I want but it is really expensive but still nice to look at.

What else have you learned about cephalopods that you find interesting?? Did you teach your dad any new information that you learned?

Take care and send me your finished copy!

Well first happy wedding day. I hope you have an amazing day. I hope you have a great time teaching your new class i'm sure they love you. I have three question for you. What school do you teach at, what does your classroom look like and how many students do you have. I hope you have a great time with your husband and teaching your new class.

Reply
Mrs. Nowak-Goniu
1/29/2016 08:59:42 am

Three answers:

1. I teach at Lincoln Center of the Arts in Milwaukee

2. My classroom is smaller than your classroom by a lot. It has wooden floors, large windows, one built in cabinet with wooden doors, 12 desks with the chairs attached to them, a few desktop computers, and a lot of bare walls for me to add learning materials to it.

3. I have 11 students.

Thank you and good luck. Send me your final copy of your writing when you are done!

It all went by so fast and very happy. I was a little scared with how the evening with the food would go but it went well. My mom did a lot to help make it a great day :)
