-being at school on Sunday
#teacherproblems
But seriously. How awful is it to be at school on a Sunday and to still feel unprepared for the week afterward?! So annoying. I feel like it doesn't matter how hard I work, I'm just a hamster on a wheel. (Metaphorically speaking, of course.)
This year (we're 3 weeks in) has been crazy, nutso, people. We started off the year launching Project-Based Learning (which we're launching district-wide this year--well, either PBL or UBD), and I've already got 2 mini PBL units in the works. Each team is getting a full day of planning to work on our next full PBL unit, and ours is on October 4th, yay! Considering I'm a complete newbie, I'm already loving PBL, but there's just not enough time in my day (ha) to plan for it! Thank goodness we have a coach from the district that is very helpful!
Also in class, we've so far introduced Read to Self and Read to Someone. Up this week is Listen to Reading (a big favorite every year), so that will be fun. Alas, I'm fairly certain my iTunes playlist was deleted over the summer. SIGH. Last year I had a parent volunteer come up and upload every book on cd to my iTunes account, which was awesome. Guess I could do that again.
But in other news, I spent more money on my classroom today. I know, I know. Shocking, right? It's a sickness. I am trying to Schoolgirl Style my room up. :)
And I keep having to buy more bandanas to make my curtains fluffier. SIGH. :)
Well, I'm hoping to get some finishing touches added to my classroom this week (finished curtains, included!), so hopefully I'll have some pics up here soon. Get ready to ooh and ahh, mmmkay? K thanks.
You liking my ADHD post tonight? Does your brain have whiplash yet? LOL.
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope to have some pics up soon!
