The Meek Moose Gives the Sunday Scoop

Amazingly- made it through that first week.  And I must admit- it was exhausting, but yet so much less tiring than last year.  And I did love my babies last year.  I did.  Bless their hearts though- they had trouble following directions.  My new flock this year has it more together.  Maybe I say something a third time.  Maybe.  And I only noticed that on Friday afternoon.  And I think I was fried by Friday afternoon, myself- so no big deal.

The Teaching Trio is having a new Sunday Linky party called The Sunday Scoop- and I thought it was cute!  So here is my contribution today:

So Things I HAVE to do: 

The lesson planning.  Which I should have been doing all day, but I got all into making a schedule chart for our ESOL teacher.  Trying to figure out how to fit in mandated ESOL hours for four teachers who also have set lunch/recess times and core extension has been no joke.  And I still don't think I managed it after eleven hundred charts.  I do love making a chart though.  Just not when I can't get one to work.

Here's some magic: blah

Last year I really slacked at lesson planning and I cannot do that this year.  So I've got to get on it and quick!

The playdough is probably not going to happen though.  It's just not.  I can get my word work charted though.  No problem.

HOPE to do:

I want to bring in my fish tomorrow.  Time to get some animals in the room and it will fit in nicely with the scientific method lessons I have to do this week.

HAPPY to do:

Spending time with the kids.  Except when they are all screaming and fighting with each other.  And then I'm going to go hide. When they aren't screaming each other- they are up to no good.

My friend Andrea at Reading Toward the Stars is having a super blow-out birthday giveaway- The Meek Moose is contributing winner's choice- stroll on over there and play your luck!

Off to finish lesson planning then, kittens!
