Updates :)
What a week! Tuesday was Election Day, and we had a district-wide professional development day, while the students were off. It was a productive day, and not having to plan lessons was a nice break.
While we did not speak about the results of the election in my classroom, we did watch President Obama address the nation live. The kids loved watching and being part of history. They especially loved when he addressed the "young folk." I explained to them that this is really the first election of their lives that they will remember, and went on to explain how historic and important it was. I am not sure they *quite* grasped it, but if a woman running for president is their new norm, then great!
Today is Thursday and tomorrow is Veteran's Day, so we have no school. I have a jam-packed day filled with a(nother) doctor's appointment and then a 4+ hour drive north to Syracuse for a wedding Friday night. So today is our Friday, which is nice! My poor kiddos have been sitting through assessment after assessment today though. Seems like all of our subjects hit at once, and they're being tested in math/spelling/science all in one day! (They'll survive!)
We had a bus safety drill today - does your district do those?
I've picked up a two tutoring jobs this week, which is great (especially right in time for the holidays - extra spending money!).
I leave you with this <3
Thank you to our Veterans, and happy long weekend friends!
