Every teacher knows about the "honeymoon period". You know! That amazing time in the beginning of the year where your students act like angels and try really hard. This week... I realized my honeymoon period was over. It could have been because there was a full moon Monday, thunderstorms all week, and we had summer like conditions in the beginning of the week and by the end of the week it was COLD (winter like conditions)... But, without going into specifics ... Several incidents happened which lead me to believe the worst (I mean, the best) is yet to come. ;) Nevertheless, as crazy as this week was, learning was accomplished (somehow)! Here's the highlights below!
This Paper plate activity could be a universal activity!! Setting? Story map? Figurative Language?? ;) the skies the limit!!
This was a busy week during the foul weather we had. I can't believe it was the fourth week of school... It feels like it's been a lot longer than that. Or maybe, it was just a long week? Formal observation is next week! : O I'm nervous - but, I know I shouldn't be! ;)
