So I piled every thing on top of my coffee table, turned on The Bachelor and spent three hours getting them finished. I feel very proud that they are finished.
On to the other mundane things.
I started this blog so that I could reflect on my teaching and how I feel about teaching and about my students. When I read other blogs I get great ideas for things to do in my classroom, but people don't get that from mine. They just have to read about how I think. I hope that's enough because I am not really the kind of person who can make a lot of things up. I pull things together instead. I'm super proud of how my kids are doing this year.
Finally, my two new boys are doing pretty well. I have no experience with new children as I just started my first year in first grade, but it seems they have about two days of bad behavior and feeling out the boundaries. Then they figure out that the other kids actually follow the Code of Cooperation and they settle in as much as someone who doesn't really belong yet can.
Way to buckle down on the report cards! I did the same thing with my Title I math tests last night! The disaggregated grades are due on Friday, so after giving the test to most of the class yesterday I sat down to watch a movie with my husband last night and filled in all those tedious boxes! For some reason the powers that be think it makes more sense to X every question they got RIGHT and leave the wrong items blank. Since most of my kiddos did quite well, that was a LOT of little X's!
ReplyDeleteI got a new boy yesterday - I am going to hope that he sticks to your 2 day schedule, he seems smart but very immature!
And, I like reading your thoughts! It's always interesting to see how someone else does things!

I love reading about your reflections. It forces me to slow down and so some of my own thinking :)
ReplyDeleteNice going with the reports, Kimberley!
