Teacher gets Creative

I began to feel like our schedule was the same ole same ole. I wanted to spice up our schedule just a tad for tomorrow.

So, I created this......

This is our schedule for tomorrow. The jar is full of activities that we normally do and some surprise activities that we don't normally do. The kids will draw out an activity card out one at a time and we will complete the task. When that activity is complete, I will choose another child to draw out another activity card.

I think that this will be a fun way to conduct our day. I will update you tomorrow on how it all turns out!

Day 65

 

Common Cold Season

A few weeks ago, I was bragging about how I had not spent my first year as a teacher sick. Most first year teachers spend their first year sick and building up an immunity to sickness.

NEVER SHALL I BRAG ABOUT SUCH A THING AGAIN!

I am sitting here with the common cold. I do believe that I caught the cold from some of my students.

Puffy Red Eyes, Stuffy nose, Sneezing, Tissues all around...yep all the signs point towards a common cold.

I am hoping the cold medicine that I took will help me feel better.

Despite the cold, I was able to spend the day with an old friend of mine. It was good to see her and spend the day shopping. :-) Hey! A girl has got shop!

Any first year teachers out there with stories?
