- Organized my gigantic closet - Last week, things were literally thrown into the closet. It was a wreck. Now, most everything, has a proper place and I can find things!
- Finished labeling books - My school does Jan Richardson's First 20 Days. The kids had to pick out books from the library and explain whey they picked that particular book. Well, I didn't let the kids keep the books because I hadn't finished labeling. (I know, BAD TEACHER!) Problem Solved!
- Math Manipulatives - I put those in containers on the back counter so the kids have easy access to them. AND I realized, that I don't have all the math stuff that I need!!
- Organized Papers - Most of the kids returned all the "required" papers on Friday. While they were separated into separate stacks, I had no idea who turned in what. So, I went through and checked off what was turned in, and I realized that many sheets hadn't been signed. The organization was a huge stress reliever.
- Figured out morning work for the week, and have Monday ready and on their desks! (PS, does anyone use Sunshine Math?)
I think I could have stayed all day, but once The Notebook finished, I started hearing strange noises. I should note, that my school is in a not so great area. We have been told to NEVER be at school alone after dark. I probably shouldn't even be there by myself on the weekend... I SWEAR I heard something slam on the floor in the hallway. It goes without saying that I did NOT unlock the door to the hallway, and I made sure my back door was closed tightly. Once I started hearing the school ghosts, I didn't stay much longer.
Does anyone else get freaked out being in school alone??
Holy COW! I have ABSOLUTELY spooked myself at school when by myself. Scarey. McScareyton!
