Today we got a work day in our classrooms!
I <3 work days! It means I get to spend a day in my room (mostly) uninterrupted getting TONS of work done! It definitely feels more like summer now that I have done some cleaning in my classroom. Summer is truly my favorite time to work in my room. I love trying to move things around, trying new floor plans, putting up new bulletin boards, having everything be nice and shiny!

This whole morning was devoted to cleaning, grade cards and a smidge of planning.
We cleaned chair pockets out, wiped down all the tables, sharpened pencils, updated things, and made everything look nice.

I like having everything "in its place" so to say. I find that then it is easier to be productive.
(that's why my house is always so clean when I have grad school homework to do!)

We went to lunch at our local BBQ restaurant ... and all ordered salads. HAHA
Came back and started planning.
I am REALLY bad about writing down my plans. I almost wish it was a requirement so that I was sure to get them on paper.
We have SMART Notebook (for now) and I typically do a lot of screen-shots of needed materials. The program we use came with workbooks, and I've had my Tiger Tutors tear out all the pages (otherwise the kids can't do it on their own), which makes the "paperwork" side of things WAY easier.
Today I just needed to make some copies of our "problems of the lesson" and place the workbook pages in the days I wanted to do them.

We are finishing up our time chapter this week and next week we will begin multiplication/division bar model problems. I can't say I'm totally excited to teach it, but it will happen!
Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day (and picture day for us)
Go to my store for a $2 packet!
Have a lucky day! :)
