Crazy-hectic...

Today was a tough day for me. It was one of those days where everything seems to go wrong and the hits just keep on coming (Adison has been going through something with her abdomen and has had blood work and an ultrasound but still nothing and today was bad for her and I couldn't get a sub and I got my 2nd of 3 knee injections last night so could barely walk, late to a meeting, computer and projector still not fixed, technology issues, etc., etc., etc.). Anyway, I was having a tough time keeping my emotions in the green zone and above the line but I am an open book and shared my feelings and the kiddos rallied around me and helped me to get green and showed me my purpose and allowed me to be human and know that everything will be ok. It was about this time that a sub showed up for me and the doctor called me back and I just took a breath and smiled. Sometimes, it just takes a little perspective.

We started our day working on our M4T and Ohio Dailies. They enjoyed the fun morning question for "What Would You Do Wednesday?" and explained what they would do if they were only 6 inches tall. In our meeting, we shared something-anything we want to learn. Sign language, how to build a robot, a different language, a "spider" or basketball trick, and many more things were shared. Then, we did some fun problem-solving by playing "Who am I?" where we had disney characters taped to our backs and had to ask yes/no questions to figure out who we were. First of all, these kids need to see some of the oldies!! (Bambi, Pinnochio, Lady and the Tramp...) Anyway, it was a hoot! In Math, after working out 30 minutes of technological issues, we completed some problem-solving about sugar content in our drinks. Students spent a little too much time chatting so I asked them to work for just a little bit longer at home tonight before submitting. After we got cleaned up and wrote in our planners, we headed to gym. Mr. Burkhart said that we had a great gym class and earned our first, new potato head piece! Hopefully, the afternoon went well. You'll have to ask them if they enjoyed the Guinness World Record Reading work about seahorses and mysterious books I had for them for the afternoon.
