Break Almost Over
Ohhh part of me is so sad that break is almost over. These 2 weeks have been the most relaxing weeks ever and it has been truly amazing to have this break. I feel refreshed and excited about teaching again. I am even looking forward to seeing all my students again!
I have been working hard over break to try and get my lesson plans done and include some new and exciting things in them!
Starting on Monday, I am doing a couple of new things.
-Guided Math. I have been on http://www.mandygregory.com/ and have gotten some AMAZING ideas from her about how to implement it and how to become more organized, not just in math but in the classroom. She is just AMAZING! I someday hope to have a neat website just like her! :)
-Cursive. It's 2nd semester and that's when we start cursive. I'm a little nervous because i personally hate cursive and never use it so I have some doubts in my ability to teach it. I also think that my kids' handwriting in print is unreadable so I am concerned in how their writing is going to be in cursive. Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen! haha
-Mandy and Randy Savings Program. Even tho we have already done our money chapter, I am starting this program from CEFCU. I think they are really going to enjoy it and I taught it during student teaching and really loved it! It's something easy and relaxing but still teaches the kids math & savings skills.
I think that's all I'mdoing. We shall see. It might change. I had hopes to start a classroom economy system w/ money/checkbooks and whatknot but it didn't happen; too much work. I had also wanted to start doing a poetry of the week thing w/ poem folders but that didnt happen either. Oh well, you can't do everything I guess!!! :)
