Well, we made it through our first FULL week and we made it through with flying colors. That first "week" {my firsties informed me four days does not equal a school week - smart cookies} about did me in. If you remember, I have a lot of boys this year. The current stats are: 18 boys and 5 girls. I might have a boy-heavy room, but that doesn't mean I won't have a class of respectful, kind, {energetic} and responsible learners.
When you are as tired as I am, a blog full of randomness is about all you can dig up...
Most of these are from Instagram...so sorry you might have seen them already.
Knowing that both boys and girls are into the video game Minecraft - I used this as my quiet signal on Friday.
Worked like a charm. A little mining here, a little mining there, and my kiddos {especially my boys} were putty in my hands!
After that long first FULL week...I was feeling a little overwhelmed. Nothing that a visit to Target couldn't fix...
Are those shoes not the cutest? And that candle? Oh the sweet smells of fall!
Have I told you yet how much I'm loving Planbook.com? I tried it out this summer and blogged about it here. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it. Seriously, friends - it makes life SOOOOOOO easy. The best part? They now have an app for your iPad!!!!!!
I am so happy to report that my weight-loss efforts are now complete!!!!!!
Now I have to focus on maintaining. This has always been {yup, I've done this before} the hardest part for me. I think this is why I'm not all that excited about my accomplishment. Being a teacher is so dang stressful and stress always makes me turn to food. Conferences, report cards, struggling kiddos...all make me reach for a bag of M & M's. A fully stocked teachers' lounge doesn't help either!!!! So here's hoping I can keep it off this time. If you have any tips or tricks, I'd love to hear 'em!!!
Happy weekend friends...they go too fast!
