Getting my feet under me...

Finally a long weekend, and a much needed rest.  It is not the teaching that has me so overwhelmed, it is all of the "small" things, such as scheduling a meeting with the principal, getting sub plans together (for the first time) so I can attend a data retreat with my team, responding to emails, and taking care of myself.

Reflecting:
The transition from being at home with my kids to working full time has been bumpy, but this week I think we have worked most of the kinks out. 

With text leveling done, I think I can spend more time really teaching and not rushing through lessons!

Time to build anchor charts with the kiddos - lets get thinking together!  These posters will stay up in the room and I think be a help to many thirdsters during quizzes and tests.

I think... I think I am getting a grip on everything!
