It's a back to school Five for Friday!
I survived my first week back.
I went to bed by 8pm for the past 3 nights!
Like Abby said, there ain't no tired like teacher tired!
this is from Amy's Let's get Started pack. I love it for the first weeks of math
we are up to 11:45:04! Yes, we count up to the tenth of a second! Every second counts! When we beat 10 minutes we did a little Despicable Me Just Dance! When we beat 11 minutes, we danced on our desks! Thanks C. Jayne Teach for that little gem! fyi-I have a student with a prosthetic leg...he danced on his desk too! melt my heart
I love Amanda Gregory's Back to School Buddies file! I used this Pal Ponderings interview after we discuss how to listen to each other. They have to go back and forth taking turns and record their friend's answers to the questions.
I got into a minor bump up on Thursday afternoon. Poor kid! Let's hope his insurance pulls through...boo!
Day 2 of school and I was already wearing glasses and hair was pulled back! I try to expose the kids to everyway I may wear my hair the first week of school! Lots of combos: ponytail with contacts, ponytail with glasses, hair down with contacts, hair down with glasses, hair curled with glasses, hair curled with contacts! That way I won't have to hear reactions later on!
and if you've read this far...you deserve a chance to win! 10 winners will win a 200$ giftcard to one of these stores...come on J. Crew!! Madewell! Anthropologie!! TARGET!!
Haha! My older sister warned me to not go all out on the first day of school, because then they will expect it the rest of the year! She told me to treat it as a normal day and be myself. It was great advice:).
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel,
ReplyDeleteI'd like to start by saying that your Blog looks great!!! My name is Martin and I'm a teacher from Canada. I just started a new website called Resources4teaching where educators can buy and sell lessons and educational resources. We are new and are looking for people to join and put up their materials for sale on our website. We are having an iPad draw for the first 100 Vendors who join and upload at least 1 lesson /resource for sale on our website. There are absolutely no fees to join. You can visit us at: http://www.resources4teaching.com
If you know any other teachers who might be interested in this Website, please forward this to them and if you have any questions, feel free to message me.
Have a great day
Looks like a fun week! I wish I could take the time at the beginning of the year to explore Math stations, but our district has us jump right in. Ugghh... it's frustrating that they don't realize how much kids need that time for procedures and exploration!
