If stress and exhaustion were tangible, I'd be covered in goo.
Yup. It's true.
I'm tired. Exhausted, to be exact. It's a little after 10pm and I have been nodding off for nearly an hour while trying to type up this week's lesson plans. Christin and I spent four hours in Starbuck's, planning this week's math and science lessons. Aye. I'm pooped.
It's almost May!
SOOO much to do before graduation!!
We interns are planning and organizing an art show/dessert potluck for our kids and their families. This week we're teaching them dances and a few more songs. We also have a poem memorized that we need to practice a bit more. And then there's the whole bit about organizing our parent volunteers and delegating jobs. Wow! It's a lot to try to balance along with teaching full time and trying to complete our certification!
School is going well, though. Our StoryPath unit has been awesome. And we started a new science unit on balancing and weighing. Seattle Public Schools uses inquiry-based science kits in all their elem/middle schools, so it's hands-on every day and the kids learn so much from it! The balancing and weighing has been really fun. Last week we made mobiles and hung them all around the room.
Ok, back to typing up a few more lessons and looking through a Basal Reader. Then time for bed.
Night, y'all...
