Ups and Downs

Well today was TONS better. There are good days and there are bad days. Yesterday was bad, today was good. I'll take it. 

Today was all scrambled. My teacher had a scheduled observation today, which actually didn't happen, but ended up with a fun activity. We completed a push and pull activity where the kiddos made boats from foil bread pans, clay, a straw, and paper. They then figured out how pushing and pulling the boats affected them, and had a great inquiry model lesson even though no one showed up to see it.

My math review went tons better. I was relieved to see that I don't fail at life, and my kids actually get it. However we are so far behind and have so much to do, so for the next few weeks we'll be chugging through some math. Tomorrow we're doing a lesson on hundreds place and reviewing place value AGAIN, and Friday I'm gonna introduce greater than and less than. That is my FAVORITE thing to teach, and my kids are gonna be the bomb.com at learning it.

  Knock on wood.

You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around"
