sick. again.

being sick is the worst. I want to spend my days in first grade world, not on the couch feeling crummy. Don't know what I have but I do know that strep throat is going around: fabulous mentor had it 2 weeks ago, principal had it last week and we have a student out with it now... I really hope thats not what this is.
This week is Dentist/tooth week in our classroom. Just in time for them to come now that none of our students have any teeth! Seriously. We got a new little girl yesterday and we were talking about her teeth (she is missing 6 of them!) and mom actually said, "She can at least eat better now."
Our room is losing so many teeth that we keep filling and overfilling our tooth chart. It's nuts!

On to other news: I finished my humongous lesson plans and passed all portions! FANTASTIC! Now I can just focus on my teaching. It is lovely. My lesson plans went from 10 pages per 45 minutes to two pages per week. Love it!

The worst part of being home sick: DAYTIME TV. It is now time to use that free ondemand button.

first full week of student teaching

So the week started out a little crazy. Got a call from my Fabulous mentor on sunday night saying that she wouldn't be there. So I got to teach ALL day on Monday! There was a sub there but as there were no real sub plans just what I had been told she just let me teach all day long. It was FANTASTIC!
The rest of the week was pretty good. Kids were getting used to the schedule again.
On thursday we got a new student. Lets just say that he will be an interesting case.

Friday was a good day. I taught the first hour of the day. At the very end of that hour however one of the super bees decided to pull out his tooth while we were all sitting in the carpet area. GROSS! Then later in the day another little super bee pulled hers out too! I can deal with a lot of nasty things but kids walking around all day with a kleenex in their mouth trying to pull out their tooth is NASTY! Not only is all of the blood gross but they have their dirty hands in their mouth too...then they try to hold me hand. yuck! Lets hope that all of the loose teeth fell out over the weekend.
