- Honestly, I forgot about my daily blog post until now (9:30). I got into my office and hit the ground running. Finally taking a second to write.
- SO, I started teaching yesterday and they seem like a good group. I usually have them do an icebreaker wherein they have to tell me interesting things about themselves. I don’t let them say stupid things like favorite color or number of pets. They moan and groan but it makes them think. Well one kid’s cool thing was that he has two moms and they just got legally married. As I congratulated him, the whole class broke out in applause. It was a really awesome moment!
- This week is going to be insane because Ash will be out of commission from Wednesday on and I will have to do everything. The doc said if he wants to reduce swelling and/or risk of injury, he should literally sit on his ass for two days. I mean, I wanted this: I gestated and gave birth to three kids and that combined stress plus recovery time was a million times this, but still. Argh.
- THEN, my parents are coming for the 4th. This is great and all but we have a few different invites for fireworks and I don’t know how it’s going to work. One option is family friendly and a good activity for my parents too because it’s an older guy my husband knows. So the age group will fit everyone. The other is a friend of my husband’s who is, like, 25. So yeah, not parent appropriate but my mom was not too keen on us running off when we invited them here. UGH. I hate making plans.
OK so I have been running all over this building putting out fires for my job so this post is NEVER seeming to get done! Let’s move onto Tuesday Chat.
“What’s on your Summer Fun List? Hey, if you want to get all fancy and make a poster, or beautiful journal; I’d be so thrilled and inspired.”
nothing shoddy about that list at all! I love the background image – it’s perfect for summer. If I was making my own personal summer fun list, and not one tailored to 3 kids – that’s what I would have: sun, sand and surf!!
Magic Mike not a bad idea either 😉
What a great moment for your classroom. It’s great that we are raising a generation of children that are more tolerant and less hateful than previous ones.
Beach vacation is next week!! Yoohooo!
Yeah I would be with you mum you invited them so shouldn’t ditch them for other plans so I would go with the older guy so your parents might be able to have a good time as well
I think that’s a great list! You always seem to do lots of fun stuff anyway. 🙂 And great idea on the ice-breaker for your class! 🙂
