Busy Monday!

Today was and still is quite busy!  I am currently baking cornbread and boiling potatoes for my mashed potatoes to bring to school tomorrow.  Our ELL program is having a special Thanksgiving celebration for our students and their families.  I am very excited to celebrate (and eat); but right now, I'm stressed about finishing my food and homework in time for the Pats' game!


Hightlights/Low-lights:

• Created (with the K team) and completed the K Unit 3 pre-assessments...it's nice to get things done (even if my students flunked the pre!).
• Working 2 literacy group blocks and then ending with a whole-class housecleaning craft was nice today...poor kids haven't been able to to finish many Thanksgiving projects! (We always start them, and then I move them onto the next activity!)
• No CPTs tomorrow and Wed-- woop woop =)
• Tried to stay late at school today planning so that I can work up to not planning on Wed!

Biggest Concerns:

• The food I'm cooking for people who have never tasted my food!
• Finishing my grad school work for tomorrow (observation and article)
• Grade 1 report cards
• IEP meeting next week

HF words, Patterns, and American History...oh my!

HF words ("the") for K, and content words for Grade 1 :)
