Blogspot has me irate right now...I typed up an entire post today during my planning period in my e-mail and it won't let me copy and paste..WTF??? So, now it's 10:45 p.m. and I'm retyping this stupid thing...AH-NOYED. Here was the original post...
Ahhh...I realize I haven't written and we were supposed to go to the pumpkin patch...well, no worries, I'll DEFINITELY post right after that field trip, however, we cannot go until stops.frickin.raining. Ugh...we were scheduled to go last Thursday. Then it was forecasted for 90% change of rain. We canceled it and postponed it until Tuesday (today) (only 10% chance of rain). Well, by Monday, Tuesday was at 70% chance of rain. UGH...Wednesday is 10% but we have a short day so we can't go that day. Thursday is 70%, BLAH. Friday is 40%, we're shooting for Friday, it looks like we're going next Monday and the kids will get pumpkins on November 2....worse things have happened I guess?
To add to the chaos that naturally ensues around here...we had Dad's day last Friday. Holy crazy. Turns out we had 150 dads show up (um..guarantee they've never had that many dads in there at one time) to the program at 10 a.m. Well it was over around 11:30 (just as we were lining up to go to lunch), however, ALL of the dads could go get their kids, their step kids, the kids that live with them, kids that live with their cousins, their nephews, their neighbors, practically anyone I guess and eat lunch with them. The line was DOWN the hallway, like all the way to the end. We couldn't eat until the dads and rando kids went through and it was TOTALLY straight out of a snickers commercial, "not going anywhere for awhile?!" We didn't eat lunch until 12:30 and by then only 7 kids hadn't eaten. What a hot mess! However, with our schedule being messed up, we did a short math worksheet and took a long nap. It was Friday, we deserved it (and I needed to get work done...sorry achievement gap, not closing you much today).
Also, a random plea...if you know of anyone wanting to get rid of an old VCR I would TOTALLY take it. The one I have in my classroom is eating tapes like they're hot cheetos. This sounds mundane, however, anytime we can't go to the computer lab or library (due to rain aka ALL the time) we stay in the room and watch VHS movies. This VCR is making me nervous and mildly stressed out that I might have to start giving them work to do during my planning period...eeekk!
Anyone, don't know too much else. Hopefully by Friday we will be boarding the bus for the pumpkin patch. Then Saturday is the halloween party at our house...anyone want to join? My roommate, Jenn, and I are going to be hunters and carry nerf guns. I really only want to do this for the nerf guns! my other roommate, Lois, can't be a hunter because she's Buddhist and killing animals is like killing a relative in their second life...I don't know? But she's going to be the zodiac and read fortunes or something along those lines. Anyone, find a cheap flight and come join in the fun? I usually don't get excited about halloween....but this weekend looks like it is going to be really fun!
Tidbit for the day...D'Marco STRUGGLES with letters and sounds and has a HARD time telling me the beginning sound for any word. However, he CLEARLY knew that the birds we were counting in math were parrots, "cause that's what they be lookin like." Then later we did a sounds worksheet and I was explaining the last picture to them and before I said "sub" he shouts out "that's a submarine." Really child? Who are you? And why can't you tell me that you hear /s/ in that word. Oh well....
PS...I feel a migraine or the flu coming on....taking off Thursday to catch up on life. Ridiculous, I know. But I need to write a research paper and you better believe it's not getting done this weekend. Plus..I've got all sorts of grand plans for getting my eyebrows done, an oil change, getting party stuff, cleaning my house, organzing my office, going to the post office....all things I CANNOT do during the week. So...my first order of business is that darn paper...then the rest of the stuff. I'm SOOOO excited. Feel free to call and check in on my progress...would love to hear from you :)
Over and out girl scout.
