First Teaching Day of 2012

First day back-- happy new year to all my confused students!  So happy to be back with their friends, but also so tired by the end of the day.  I think the day flew by, even with our new schedule flipping our world upside down.  My kids are flexible though...and try to transition/adapt as quickly as they can. :]

Highlights/Low-lights:

• Pumpkin soup from my aide for Haiti's Independence Day...yummmy
• 3/14 students brought back "extra credit" work from vacation...hmm
• trying to make up for the lack of resources I have to teach my Kindergarten kids from "their" curriculum

Biggest Concerns:

• worried about how to write my language objectives for ESL/ELA
• worried about the upcoming quarterly assessments
• kindergarten report cards are when...?
• assessments at the right time and ones that assess the right skills (or at least the skills taught!)
• another grad class starting again in 3 weeks...
