To Do List..
I have definitely enjoyed this Thanksgiving break..however, it's 7pm on Sunday night and I'm realizing how much I have to do in the month of December. Thank goodness there are only 15 days of school until Christmas break! Not that I'm counting or anything! :)
Here is my list of things to do in the next few weeks:
- Send notes home to room parents about party and put together treat bags for students. Also, wrap extra books for our book exchange
- Come up w/ gifts for class volunteers
- Submit scholastic book order- this one's going to be big! (check out this link on proteacher..this website is amazing, I am totally addicted to all the wonderful tips and ideas that other teachers give! http://www.proteacher.net/discussions/showthread.php?t=23200)
- Plan polar express activities
- Think about whether I want to do Gingerbread Houses or not?
- Plan and implement Literature Circles
- Laminate Literacy Games
- Print out Snowman Contraction Activities
- Put up Christmas Decorations
- Change Bulletin Board to Christmas!
- Print out stuff for "Naked Gingerbread" Activity
- Buy presents for my secret santa
Phew, I think that's it. I am exhausted just looking at this list! I have decided that being a teacher really just doesn't stop. I keep thinking, ok, once PT conferences are over, once halloween is over, once grandparents day is over, but as soon as something is over, another thing takes it's place and requires my full attention and energy. It also usually requires me to spend a great deal of time at home researching and working on stuff. I don't mind it, it just is very time consuming. I think I would mind it a little less if my class was better behaved. I feel very frusterated when I spend lots of time working on things and then my class totally just misbehaves and misses the whole concept. GRRRR. Oh well, only 15 more days until break. Then I get 16 WHOLE days off! I haven't been this excited in a LONG time about a break!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
