WooHoo! The Weekend is here... But don't Blink!

Yeah! This is HARD! I didn't think that I would keep this going once our 2ND class was over, but I think I kind of like having a place to vent. We have a ton of paperwork at my school, plus it is report card time only now it is called Progress Reports. I feel like I have 2 tons of papers to grade and then I have more things to do with my Grad Class. Of course then I decided that I had some free time so I volunteered to help with PTA at my daughter's school. I am hoping to sleep late tomorrow like maybe 8? Rough weekend and week coming up. Hubby won't be home for another week and that puts another feather in my cap for duties, but Rachel and I had a great time tonight. She read some of her kindergarten books to me (VERY simple) and I was so proud of her! Then we did another book report. She does the telling and I do the writing. It is actually pretty funny. I am looking forward to taking apart a computer next weekend, but now I am waiting for the BOMB to drop from our next instructor for class #4.
Hopefully this weekend will have some sunshine. I love a good rainy day, but 5 in a row! Come on! See you all soon!

First Quarter is ENDING?


I really can't believe that I have just finished my second class towards my graduate degree. More to the point, doing it while I am working. I can see now why it is smart to do it the Lesley way so that you only have one class at a time.

This has been a crazy week. We had our first field trip and my students did amazing! Now I get to look forward to assessments, grade cards, district assessments, and the lovely parent/teacher conferences where 100% participation or contact with all parents is required. At least I have some great room moms that are completely doing my fall party for the kiddos and I just have to be in the room. This is my first year for that so I hope that it goes smoothly!

Now I have to concentrate on figuring out how a computer works for my next class. I think I might actually have a clue on some of this stuff. Wait, that was a toaster that I took apart and put back together it just seemed like it was a computer! Anyway, it was nice to read that Leah might actually be challenged. Either way, I can't wait until Christmas and then I can relax for about 4 days before jumping back into everything all over again!
