One More Semester Down, One More To Go!

As this semester comes to an end, I keep telling myself that I can do it! Like April said in her post, I've learned many applicable things, but I will be so relieved once graduate school is over. I'll miss seeing everyone, but I'll feel like I have a life again! Being a teacher consumes so much time anyway and grad school makes things even more difficult.  I'm always thinking about what I need to do and once I think I have one thing finished, there's always something else that needs to be completed.  I am going to enjoy this summer vacation more than any other I believe!!! :)

Thoughts of Randomness

I'm very glad I have finally come up with a 21st century lesson idea! :) It took a lot of thinking but I've got most of it figured out.  Now I just need to type up the lesson plan and teach it next week, but I think once the lesson plan part is finished, it'll all fall into place then.

Thanksgiving break begins tomorrow at 1:00-I cannot wait! The break is much needed and is going to be very much appreciated.  I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends!

Catching Up

I haven't posted in quite some time! It's so hard trying to keep up with everything between grad school and work.  I give props to you ladies who are managing grad school with kids. I couldn't imagine!

A few random thoughts:

I think I've finished my multimedia project or at least almost finished. I was having some trouble with Voicethread tonight but I think everything ended up working out.

I'm starting to get the hang of third grade. SOLs still make me really nervous though! I'd rather be back in second grade due to the stress that SOLs bring, but I do like how the kids change classes.  It makes the day go by faster since I'm dealing with different groups of kids.  I also enjoy teaching only two subjects, Reading (to my homeroom) and Math (to all three classes).

I am looking very forward to this Friday's 1:00 dismissal for Veteran's Day and then Thanksgiving break in a few weeks....and then Christmas break! :) Hopefully Thanksgiving break and Christmas break will be filled with a lot of relaxation. I'm looking forward to not having any schoolwork to do, or is that even possible???
