Day 58

Some days, I think....

WOW!  It's ALREADY the ____ th day of school! 

Today is not one of those days.

 

Today I am thinking, is it ONLY day 58??!! 

That means we still have 119 days LEFT??!@#@!?

Don't get me wrong--  I love these kids and I love what I do,

but I have quite a group this year! Here are my list of gripes:

~They cannot/will not sit still.

~They cannot/will not be quiet.

~They cannot/will not get their work done!!

~They cannot/will not get along.

~They cannot/will not __________!

I am exhausted today.  Who am I kidding?

I'm exhausted/frustrated EVERYDAY!

Okay, I think I'm done venting.  Thank you!

Onto some good news. 

Our district Math coordinator visited

my classroom last week and LOVED what I was doing.

 Very simple, but effective.

The kids GOT IT, and that's what is important!

Plus, I got this ticket (sorry it's blurry!)

because the coordinator

"Spied Marvelous Math"

She wrote:
Love the "10" chart.
Great activity.
Great questioning.
Love the journals, too!

Now I'm entered into a drawing for free Starbucks.

And that, my friends, puts a smile back on my

exhausted/frustrated face!
