Changing Focus

I've decided to change the focus of my blog slightly. I have decided that instead of just telling stories, I will share what we do (like the different activities, organizational strategies, etc.) I will still update with the finny, cute, interesting, etc. stories, but I want to share more of what I do in the classroom. I have been taking tons of pictures, so I will post pictures.

(I'm thinking if I "write" it I will be abpt to do it. We'll see...)

Being Sick and Being a Teacher

These 2 things do NOT go togther. I have been out for two days now and feel horrible, both from being sick and worrying about what's going on at school. I'm not exactly sure if I will be at school tomorrow either. Being sick adds so much more to what I have to do. Getting sub plans together is the most tedious of things. Everything that I would normally do and comes naturally to me, I have to write out in very detailed plans, so that a sub could follow these plans. Well yesterday my sub went over things that had nothing to do with what we are even learning, so it makes me wonder why even go through the trouble. Then I worry about the students behavior, are they doing what they are supposed to, acting right, and everything else that comes to mind. I hate being sick, so I'm hoping it goes away really fast and I can get back to school, if for nothing else but for my students to have a more normal school day.
