Once upon a time there was a very full moon and an ITBS test. This is a lethal combination for parents and teachers alike! I have been through testing many many times and it is never very pretty but these last two weeks have been downright ROUGH! :) I was wondering why this change was so much more difficult for me than usual...and then I looked into the night sky...yep it's a full moon. I know it sounds silly like an old wive's tale, but it is for real. The full moon messes with us. Our bodies are made up of mostly water which is why the moon can really mess with our ability to 'go with the flow'! I know your children may be bouncing off the walls at home..they are certainly a bit off here in the classroom as well. Do not fear, there is an end in sight!
We have 3 more days of testing....tomorrow and then next week on Wednesday and Thursday.
*note this is changed from the original T-W schedule I posted last week.
SPIRIT WEEK:
In order to celebrate the end of testing and thank the students for a job well done, we will be implementing a spirit week the last week of October. Look for more info soon.
SPECIAL THANKS:
THANKS SO MUCH FOR DONATING FOR THE WHITE BOARDS!! WE HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO OUTFIT OUR CLASSROOM WITH TWO BOARDS! I really appreciate you all so much and I feel super lucky to have your support in every way! Mr. Hearn, I want to thank you so very much for organizing the fundraiser for our boards. They really will be a huge game changer in the daily operations of the classroom. I have already re-arranged the classroom so that the kids will be able to sit in front of the boards for mini-lessons! (photos coming soon)
Have a great weekend....I'll have photos and another post early next week....due to testing I haven't really been able to spend much time with my students/your kids. I kinda miss them!
