I didn't even realize it was September until I saw that it was time to link up with Farley at Oh Boy4th Grade for a new currently! Where did August go? I have spend countless hours the last few weeks in my classroom getting projects and planning done. I'm in Virginia and school has not started yet, so this months currently will be completely school related.
I am LISTENING to my dishwasher and the dryer run. Last night I was TEACHER TIRED ya'll! I got home form working in my classroom and all my house chores went out the window. Hopefully I will not have another long day like that. I'm up early so that I can get to school and get out early.
I am LOVING the crate seats I just finished making. I cannot tell a lie! I have had all of the materials to make these crate seats since 2012 ya'll! and I am JUST NOW finishing them. Yes just now at 6:00 AM on September 2nd, 2015. It's one of those tasks I've been meaning to get to. #dontjudgeme
I am THINKING I still have about a gazillion things to get to before the first day of school. I am forgetful. There I said it! I make lists, and then, lists for my lists, and then completely forget where I put my list so I'm lost. Did you catch all that? Yesterday I spent the better part of 30 minutes looking for my keys at work so that I could leave and get lunch because yet again I called myself putting them in the right place and forgot. The day before it was my purse. I completely left it at work when I went home for the night. I don't know how I made it to adulthood or how I function. ANYWAY, I just have a bunch of little tasks left that I am NEEDING to get done. (Do you see what I did right there?!)I have little things left like putting things out for Meet the Teacher tomorrow night and I have to gather all my first week of school read alouds. Hopefully I can get these tiny details done before Professional Development today so that I don't have to think about it when I should be listening. #yallknowwhatImtalkingabout
I am WANTING to meet my new students. I will have 23 sweet little faces this year. 3rd grade is lucky with the high numbers this year. We each have between 23-25 and counting. I know that's not much to some but we typically don't have more than 20. (K-3 get the low numbers around here) We usually get a boatload of registrations on Meet the Teacher night so we will see if I meet 23 sweet little faces or more.
I think my 3 GOALS are pretty self explanatory and things that teachers across the world strive for. Let's hope I can say I accomplished all three at the end of the year!
Happy School Year All!
That's so funny you put dishwasher and dryer running, 'cus I put washing machine! I guess we're all in a cleaning mood :) I hope you do have an AMAZING school year!

I can't believe you haven't started yet. I feel like we start late compared to other locals and this is our second week.
ReplyDeleteI feel there are zillion things to get done before our kiddos come. We start after Labor Day and I am glad for the extra time. I like your goal of taking time for yourself. Sometimes it is hard to do, but it is so important!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you! Kids don't start in Michigan until after Labor Day unless the district files a waiver so I've been spending the last couple of weeks getting ready and I still feel like I have a million things to do! I just put an app on my phone that is simply called "Checklist" and it helps me not lose my lists of lists :)
