Peek at my Week

Welcome to a new week!  My week is fairly busy. I am posting this peek a bit late but oh well. 

Monday:  Today we started new spelling homework!  I created a product on TPT.  This is a paid product but after one evening I am so excited about it.  I reorganized my classroom after school.  After that I delivered a packet for a Thirty-One hostess!  So excited that I have 4 parties this month.  Extra income plus a chance to win bonus money!

Tuesday: After school on Tuesday's I babysit for my parents neighbor.  We play games, go to my parents to visit the animals and run around the yard.  

Wednesday: Parent Teacher Conference Day.  No students but parents all day.  Our normal schedule is 10-2 and 3-7.  Due to having 31 students I am starting at 10 and going until 7:30PM.  It will be a long day.  When looking on TPT for a product that I could use for my conferences I could not find one.  I decided to create one!  Yes I created something.  I have a few products but have never been very good at creating the cute things the rest of you can.  Check out my Parent Teacher Conference Form at my TPT store! Enjoy this freebie and let me know what you think.

Thursday: I have an early morning meeting at 7AM.  I can already tell the end of the week is going to drag.  Of course add in the full moon on Wednesday.  

Friday: As of now there is nothing planned for Friday!  Maybe I'll get a night to relax.  


Hope you all have a great week!

October Currently

Hi All!  I am linking up with Oh' Boy 4th Grade for October Currently!  


Listening: It was morning when I started this and when everything is shut off I can hear the trains going by about a mile down the road.  Sometimes that noise is peaceful...except at 11PM when i can't sleep :) 

Loving: The cooler weather.  I love Fall and Winter!  I have bad allergies so I love when it finally frosts.  I also like to wear pants with my sweaters!  The majority of my teaching wardrobe is for cooler weather.  I live in North West Ohio and teach in Michigan so most of the teaching year it is cooler outside.  

Thinking: I am thinking of things that I need to change at school.  After a month I feel the need to reevaluate my room set up and make adjustments.  That will happen this week. 

Wanting: A day to catch up on sleep.  Two weeks ago was the fair and that takes a lot of my time.  Then I jumped into a crazy week and feel behind not only on grading but also sleep.  

Needing: More hours in the day.  The end of September and beginning of October always seem to be so busy.  It will get better I keep telling myself.  

Trick or Treat:  Here is a little trick.  This year I have a little bit of help during my guided reading group time.  I put every group in their own hanging file folder with all of the materials for the week.  When someone comes in to help they grab the front file and get to to work.  When we are finished the file goes in the back!  

Happy October everyone!
