Pinch Me I Must Be Dreaming!

Today was an amazing day I couldn't believe it. We started rotations in Reading and I thought it was going to be disasterous. They actually did really well. It wasn't until the end of the third rotation which was our last rotation that they started talking and not working the way they were supposed to. But hey today I will take it. We also started the rotations in Math, those didn't go quite as smooth as I thought they would but it's Ok. I don't have enough materials for all my stations I think once I finally have it all figured out things will be awesome. There will be enough different things for my small class so they will have a lot stay nice and fresh for them. We went outside and played all but 4 kids got to play. We are making major improvements. We went back in used hand sanitizer and guess what! We were early to lunch I cannot believe it! I picked them up from lunch and we went to the bathroom and we were early for P.E. class. My kids were amazing today. I had the hardest time picking star student. One of my students who always has a rough day had an awesome day. He was sitting at his desk facing forward and hands folded. I pointed it out to all the other students how I like how he was sitting and then all the other students started looking at him and made sure they were doing it too. After we took a restroom break we got to have a huge group hug. It had to be silent because we were in the hall. It was great I almost fell over they squeezed me so hard. My students are starting to adapt to the rules and follow the procedures and I'm so excited because now, we can do fun stuff.

The day was over but not for me... I had to go to class and let me tell you panic attack is setting in I have a five page paper due it two weeks lots of reading for this class. New Assessment I have to try every week. I don't feel like I truly know what is going on in either grad class I'm in. It is kind of a rough semester I think. Its so hard to keep everything organize and have enough time to fit everything in. I do not know how I'm going to be able to do that and still have some time for free time. I will just have to keep plugging away and hopefully I will figure it all out. Wish me luck!

The ability to concentrate and to use your time well is everything if you want to succeed in business--or almost anywhere else for that matter.
