Speaking of lost things, I found both things I had last yesterday, our Romona book and my Promethean pen! The pen was on top of the cubbies and Romona was hiding in my guided reading bin! As hard as I try I can't seem to keep my guided reading table in order. It just gets away from me everyday!
My classroom is turning into a spooktacular place! :) In true Amanda fashion I'm falling over myself in Halloween excitement! Along with my daily festive earrings, I'm putting up more decorations by the day. In fact I just went to te store and bought more decorations and black garbage bags to make spider webs with!
I didn't get to do all of these fun things last year because I was too busy just trying to keep my head above the water. What a difference a year makes! I absolutely have to give credit to my nuggets, they are a great group, but I also have to give some credit to myself! I'm working harder than I ever thought I would and I've made huge strides as a teacher. I'm just overall more comfortable. Foooooooo shoooooooo!
Now as for everything else that my job requires, blah! Paper paper paper! Doesn't the people in charge know I'm a hippie who cares about the trees?!? Sheesh. Does the paperwork ever end?!
