JTTW

I Oh my, Monday, you have shown me no mercy! (I didn't even do that alliteration on purpose, but I'm glad it happened.) 
 Apparently today was keep your kids home from common core day, well all my parents must love common core because my nuggets were there. I had a few out but that was broken legs and sickness. I'm not well versed enough in common core to start a hoopla about it, so I'll stick to what I know: Jesus take the wheel moments. 
Number 1: when a nugget answered every question on a assessment wrong even though I was stressssssing everrrry worddddddd. 
Number 2: when a nugget refused to stand in line and then hystercaily cried/screamed the whole way to lunch, whilst swinging a jacket about. 
Number 3: Math...just my entire math lesson was one giant Jesus take the wheel moment. Addition with this new series might kill me. 
Number 4: naptime...once again just the entire naptime. 
Those were the big ones, trust me, there were plenty other little moments. 
I am a winner! Today I started a whole brain teaching strategy: the mighty score board (not a legit name). When the nuggets do as they are told they get a point, when they don't, I get a point. Welllllllll, the score was 15-3. My extra sip of water at the end of the day was so refreshing! I'm trying to motivate the nuggets for this last week, but I know they know a break is coming. Boy do they need it! Hey, I need it too!
 I have decided to make my break productive though, I want to get a jump start on lessons plans. So I'm gonna devote a day to getting as much done as possible. Now that's my plan, the day will come and I'll likely end up drinking wine and sending random snapchats. 

Today's pockets:
Talking Buttons: hahahaha
Markers: it's weird that thru are both green. 
P.s. My KK is on point!! I got a magic feather/colored hair clip in! Loves!
