So, we have no AC in our building right now, and it conveniently went out during an all-day professional development in the library. Twelve kinds of not fun. And working in our classrooms hasn’t been easy either because when the outdoor temp is spiking in the nineties, it’s like you’re working in an oven.
So, I’ve resorted to drinking very large coke Icees to keep cool, while I attempt to focus on last minute decor details and readying myself for this week’s Readifest where I’ll meet my new class. Which seriously blows my mind. I just can’t believe that its here! The end of summer! The start of a new school year! Ahhh!
Also, I’m going to go ahead and add coke Icees to my list of required teacher staples, because you just can’t get more satisfying for 89 whopping cents. ‘Scuse the fact that I look all kinds of a hot mess in the pictures because, well, let’s be honest I was a hot mess.
More importantly, I now own two hoola hoops for my class, courtesy of Crayons to Computers. (C2C is a non-profit organization that lets teachers “shop” for classroom goodies for free! Read all about it on Michelle’s blog HERE!).
Yes, I *am* that gangly and awkward in person…
Unbeknownst to us teachers who just thought we were getting hula hoops for our kiddos to enjoy at recess, look what else was inside the box:
Stop the world. Oh, yes, that is what you’re thinking it is. A Marisa Tomei Hulabody Workout. And now you know what we’ll be doing during “organized physical activity.”
Lastly, my Math in Focus materials have arrived…
I’m really looking forward to this program. Our PD was very informative, and I have lots of ideas making it work in my room. I also can’t wait to get these books and workbooks into desks because they’re driving me a little crazy hanging out on all that sink space 🙂
That’s all I’ve got tonight, friends!
{But, there is *exciting* news in the teacher bloggy world…to be announced soon!!!! I can’t wait!!!}
