It’s 4:30 in the morning and I am up.
We have one more day until the Charlotte Huck Literature
Festival, at which I’m presenting! My class is ready, we have about a zillion
projects to show, the kids have learned their lines, we have a PowerPoint ready
to go – and both my co-presenter and I have a cold.
Should I be surprised? No….This month has been insane!
We
had a visit from the Distinguished School folks (before which we all stressed
over big time)
The author came and visited and was WONDERFUL (I highly
recommend him!) but the Book of the Month Club group (of which I’m a part of)
stressed over and worried over and fretted over – but it turned out okay.
Yesterday, our school celebrated Leap Day – the kids came to
school wearing green – and crazy hair. You can imagine how excited the kids
were!
It is also the annual Book Fair this week – so I came to
school at night and read a couple of stories to groups of children.
OH! And did I mention that report cards are due to be passed
out tomorrow to children? So, I’ve been fitting in report card writing in all
my spare time as well!
I’m certain I’ve missed a couple of things….no matter! We go
on Spring Break at 2:05 tomorrow for two weeks and I can’t wait. Yes, it’s
early – it’s usually in April but the District Office decided to move it
because of - wait for it – the testing
schedule.
When we come back, we start our First Grade play…. It never
stops, does it? I hope your day is a good one! I miss you all and look forward
to getting back on the blog more regularly! I’ll post literature festival
project pictures later!

Hope you feel better soon and that the presentation goes well!

Oh my, you've been so busy! You have definitely earned those two weeks! We have been off this week for Feb. vacation and I am feeling much more rested now--just think how you'll feel in no time! Best of luck wrapping up everything before the break :)

Finally in First
First grade is the best! I taught it for 20 years.
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed that your whole school is GATE trained. I've taught GATE for 14 years. It would be hard to say which is my favorite.
Anyway, I'm pleased to pass the One Lovely Blog Award to you. You can read the rules at my blog:
