Yeesh but yay!

(Sorry about all the messing around with my blog - I'm trying to make it readable! And relaxing/peaceful. I think I've finally got it fixed!

T5B: 1) I got to talk to Jerod! :D 2) My last class was AWESOME. 3) My hardest classes are done for the week. :) 4) I had a nice, juicy burger for dinner. 5) I started a new book.

basal temp: 35.67

Morning:
- I GOT 86%!!! My hair still hurts but YAY!
- got ready in the freezing
- read on the bus
1st-2nd - made copies, made some materials for class
3rd - taught 2.5, went ... at most "ok"
4th - corrected worksheets, some planning

Notes: It was PULLING TEETH with them. The class resisted nearly all my instructions. It's painful and so frustrating. The JTE didn't help either. Grrr!!

Afternoon:
- lunch was nice (although I opted to read instead of focus because I was so frustrated still about the morning and dreading the next two classes
5th - taught 2.4, AARGGGHHH!!!!
6th - taught 1.6, IT WAS AWESOME!
7th - corrected worksheets
- cleaning time, started making a worksheet for CS

Notes: Man 5th was even worse than 3rd. GRRR! It started poorly and ended poorly. :/ This JTE tried to help me, but they ignored her too. *heavy sigh* ARGH! HOWEVER, only 5 Tuesdays left to go! (Scheduled teaching time - Feb 11th is a holiday and I have a workday in March.) -- And I want to say that 1.6 was AMAZING today. They really listened and TRIED. It was fabulous!

Evening:
- read on the bus home
- made a burger
- got to message Jerod
- read a little bit

Notes: Today I found out that the 3rd graders don't have to go to school in February at all! 0.o That's why I won't be teaching them anymore. They get a month off before graduation. I'm glad I found out so I can bring them their origami before they take off! Hope you have a nice Tuesday. :) XOXO, A

blast from the past: When I was still a young teen I used to babysit for some neighbors named the Heaths. I loved that family (love - they're not dead or anything)! Anyway, the very first time I babysat for them I came home and told my mom, "Man Matthew talked to me ALL night!" "Really!?" "Yes. Why?" "Well Cheryl has been trying to get Matthew to talk to her for MONTHS and not a peep." LOL That cracked me up. (Cheryl is a woman who worked with my mom teaching the neighborhood kids in a church group.) LOL Take that! I didn't even try. Made me laugh. Still makes me smile. :) I'm like a kid-whisperer! (Actually if anyone is that would be my dad!)

Kanamori-s gave me hers :)
Part of my music lesson
LOL uh.. recorder... and sax
One of the VPs gave me this fruit cake - the students made it :)
This made me laugh because my dad says that too!
Waiting to cross the street and walk home - this is my bus stop and the front of Nanak :)
