I feel like a real high-flying blogger. Oh the joys of meeting up with bloggers that you have been stalking through the year is fun too. I read about the Cali girls and how much they had fun (oh I so miss Cali). I wonder if the Southern bloggers ever thought to meet up (they count Virginia in the South). But I guess since I am such a newbie blogger I can wait some before jumping in on a blogger meetup. I just thought of something if we did have a Southern Blogger meet up, would we be like the Red/Purple hat ladies? They always look so bright and colorful together. Hat colors anyone?
Okay so I am getting ahead of myself but it is nice to think of other things other than school. Like I just joined the AmFam near my house. My hope is that if I know there is a group fitness class happening that I like, I won't stay at school so late everyday. That is my hope. I just found the line dancing class that happens at 7:30pm on Mondays so at least on Mondays I know I can leave work early... now I need to find something to do to get me out of my room on the other days. I don't mind being in my room because usually I try to clean up from the day and set up for the next. And I have tried to use my Fridays as to plan for the station for the following week. I know Friday is a day that everyone loves to be gone on, so in our building it is pretty quiet when people have left for the weekend so I get so much done. Maybe I should plan for the following week on a Thursday or something... What day of the week do you plan for the next week? I only say Friday because then I can sit back and see what I didn't use and fill in the already copied stuff in for next week before having to go off and find things to fill in the rest. I would love to know when you guys plan for each week. I need to get myself into a new routine and actually act like I have a "life" outside of school. :)
Thanks!
I usually plan on Friday afternoon or Saturday. but, I always plan from home, so I can blog stalk and print out all the ideas I find! At one point we were supposed to have our lesson plans for the following week done by Friday, but luckily the principal saw reason and changed it to Mondays. To me I need to wait for at least Friday to see what my kiddos picked up, what we need to review and what I need to find a new way to teach cause they just didn't understand it the first time!
ReplyDeleteI have my 4 kids with me after school, they provide my motivation to get out of the classroom early so I don't have to listen to them ask "Can we go home yet?" 50 million times lol! If I didn't have them, I'd probably stay even later every night lol! It is so easy to get sucked into things at work - there's always something to do!
