Tomorrow is Monday
no duh?!? Anyway, I am feeling slightly anxious about tomorrow. I have a full day in the field, my second full day, and I am happy about that. However, I get to do two math student assessments, teach a read aloud lesson, and do my first running record all in one day. this one day happens to be tomorrow. I know I will survive and I keep telling myself, I can’t do any harm to the children if I...
Tie Dye
Today was Scott’s twenty-fourth birthday and last week I asked him what he wanted. He specifically asked for a blue shop apron with front pockets from Ace. I thought, simple enough. So I set out to get his shop apron this morning only to be dumbfounded by the fact that I could not find a shop apron that was blue AND had front pockets. What did I do? I got him the tan shop apron. I knew he...
Digital Audio Recorder
I just got my brand spanking new digital recorder. It’s an Olympus WS-110 (whatever that means). I am very excited to use it, however I need to find a AAA battery first. I will let you all know how it works! It is one of the few, if not the only, recorder I could find that worked with macs, how frustrating.
Off to work!
Oh yeah, it’s way too warm outside for a fall day, 76 degrees is...
Monday's
Monday’s kind of stink. You have a whole new week to think about and to plan for. You have to adjust to the lack of free time you have and you have to get up really early (6am in my case). Stupid Monday’s, you give me a headache.
Corn Maze
Tristan and I had a very fun evening last night when we met up with Scott and Katie and we went through the corn maze in Danville. I was expecting it to be fun and not as hard as it actually was. As we were driving home I felt like we were still in a maze, sort of like the feeling you get after you get off a trampoline and you still feel like you are jumping. It was great fun and next year I think...
Apples
The cold weather made me think about apple picking so I called Hacketts Orchard to ask when the courtland apples would be ready. The woman said they would start picking Saturday!!! I cannot wait for apples and apple cider donuts.
When Will I Ever Have Free Time?
I am feeling slightly overwhelmed lately. I feel like I don’t have enough time to even stop and catch my breath or to stop and smell the clean fall air. Literacy block is going to kill me but I am determined to get through it. I have a couple of really full days ahead of me. One day I’m teaching a lesson, doing a math assessment, and doing a running record (a reading thing). Luckily I get along...
The rest of my list
This half was a lot more difficult then the first half. I think number 101 would be, I wish that I was witty
52. I hate to cook, I don’t know why but I just dislike it. I think it is probably because I don’t have enough time to cook. 53. I don’t know how to use make-up or style my hair, however I have tried to teach myself and have failed 54. I am very goal oriented and I love,...
My List...well half list
I saw a list similar to this on other’s blogs and I thought it would be a good way to start blogging again. I guess it’s just a list of 100 things about me, 1. I am really organized and I enjoy planners 2. I am scared to death about being responsible, eventually, for the primary education of children 3. It bothers me when people criticize teachers, although I should probably get used to...
