Website now up and active!

WOO-HOO! I finally have a website about my classroom. It is still in the beginning stages so be patient, but I will be updating it weekly. I am hoping to keep all important news flowing through this site as well so you can copy it to your favorites or use an RSS feed to get the newest information. I hope you enjoy it and feel free to send me any information that you would like to see or have questions about. WHEW! This project was a little stressful, but well worth it. I can't wait to send it to my friends as well! Have a great week everyone and I will post a WebQuest (I hope)by October! I am on Cloud 9 today!!!

Isn't amazing what a few days can do. I guess I was just having a little "moment" and now all is good in the world. I did get a new student today so I am not eligible for a teacher's assistant. I also have my class ready to go on the computer for Fasttmath so I can start them next week after we go over some rules on using the classroom computer.
I even have a new system for our preliminary tests that we use in the beginning of the year. I also had time to get my Skype set up and I am glad I did because my microphone is not working correctly so I will need to get that taken care of.
I just have a few more papers to grade and then I can sleep and get ready for more of the same tomorrow. Thanks for all my wonderful friends that are so patient with me! See you all soon!

HELP!!!

I feel like I am standing in quicksand and someone gave me cement boots to wear for the day! With the start of school finally under my belt, I am now sitting down to catch up on my HUGE list of things to do and I don't see how I can get it done. On top of everything else, my traveling husband is not home this weekend to "babysit" for me so I have to stop every 5 minutes to tend to my motherly duties. Let's add to that the fact that for some reason NONE of my Lesley emails and even other emails appear to be coming to my in box. Then I realize that no matter what I pick for my Webquest assignment, my students can't read it. I even have students that panicked this past week because I asked them to just write their alphabet. So now I am behind on everything and I get to start my week off with 3 different meetings regarding children in my classroom. OK, so maybe I am whining a bit, but really. I have not been watching TV or reading a good book or any of the other things that I would like to because I just can't seem to catch up. I guess it is weeks like this that make me wish that I had In-Laws to help out. They say that writing out your frustrations really helps I will let you know if this one helped later this week!
