Day 26 - "Zero Days Until Spring Break!" - SOLSC

#SOL21

 As I type this I am sitting here celebrating that I made it to spring break!!!! I can't contain my excitement that today the thrill of spring break was certainly in the air. Everyone was in a great mood and here we are, it's time for spring break! I am filled with a touch of writer's block because I honestly would rather be napping. Yet, I'll muster my way to finishing my data tracking for the day, add in a dash of grading, and head out to celebrate with my best friend who I have not seen in almost a month! 
The highlight of the day I'll sprinkle in here for fun. Now, some first graders who have learned my name at recess like to yell at me in the halls, "hello Ms. B", each and every time they see me. I have no idea where this started, but maybe I have some new fans? I LOVE this, it truly makes me feel incredible. The other highlight was having an incredible conversation with a parent today. It reminds me that some people might actually have faith in me. I couldn't feel happier at this very moment, well unless my schedule fairy had shown up, but ah well, at least it's spring break.
Zero days until spring break! So happy spring break to me and I send wonderful weekend wishes to all! 

Until next time...

Wahoo to you! Happy Spring Break. I was totally with you trying to tie up loose ends- "data tracking for the day, add in a dash of grading". Loved the detail about first graders shouting your name at recess. So many reasons to celebrate!

Enjoy! I wish I had a Spring Break this year. Instead, the College has decided to stagger our days off so the students aren't compelled to take a week and run off to some other destination. I think this was a good decision on the part of the College. Having vacation days staggered over a two week period of time actually works out better, but I still envy your time off!

Happy Spring Break to you!!!!

So much good news here as you leave for a well-deserved break. I also loved the detail about the first graders. They don't know that this is a new career for you. They just know that you are a part of the fabric of their school.

Zero days! Zero days till spring break! Time for the happy dance. I'm glad that the day brought with it a breath of air AND a sense of validation, both from students and families alike. Enjoy!

Random Thoughts - "A New Teacher's Testimony" - 23 Days Until School's Out!

The blog challenge might be over, but I find that I miss writing. I miss expressing my new teacher's testimony and today I felt compelled to write. We had bees, state testing, and a room-clearing all in one day. I am "abuzz" with grad school work, meetings, and thoughts of where my new journey in education will go. My mind is full of thoughts, so many thoughts. When will I no longer be considered a "new teacher?" What will my classroom look like next year? Will I have one? Where will this journey take me? So, many, thoughts..... This new teacher misses sharing her thoughts with you, so today on a Tuesday. Here I am. One new teacher on a journey all her own. One more IEP to write, and 23 days until school is out..... Oh, the thoughts, so many thoughts. Until next time...my final thought of the day. *GB

#SOL21 Even when our class isn't called for the school drill, I see you. Even when the lunch staff forgets to bring you your lunch and you miss half of it, I see you. Even when you aren't invited to the class because of numbers and social distancing, I see you. Even when you are forgotten to be called down for specials classes, I see you.  Even if nobody cares to see you, I will forever see you. Until next time, *GB

Day 22 - "Only 4 Days Until Spring Break!" - SOLSC

#SOL21  Monday is my least favorite day of the week. This isn't because the week offers a bazillion opportunities to advance my skills and craft, but because the weekend seems so far away. Today we were thrown a curveball - a student was absent so I had a class of 1 for the day! (I also had to run groups remotely throughout the day for the kiddos who aren't in my self-contained class. Yes, I made this schedule so essentially I did this to myself.) I think the highlight of the day today was during lunch. Since I have to eat with my students I find this time to be a chance that I can get to know them even more. So today with my class of one, I look over and see a look of complete disgust on his face. I say to him, "are you ok?" He was looking at his chicken and tells me, "chicken makes me throw up." Yep out of the mouth of wee ones, comes the slice of the day. Plus, a big chuckle out of Ms. B. Thank you sweetie, for being the slice today. When I think about ho...
