Today I have baked 2 cakes (so far...a third to come) a batch of chocolate chip cookies and a batch of cupcakes. Its the end of the school year and there are parties to be had a school. But that is all I have gotten done. I needed to get laundry done, clean and just get organized. Well I have tomorrow morning and all weekend. I also needed to get the dogs out to the beach...
In other news I got my official teaching certificate in the mail yesterday! Hooray for being officially official!!!
Definitely looking forward to the paycheck at the end of the month.
Time to go check the cake.

last week of school...
It's the last week of school here and I spent the afternoon in a 6th grade class. Can you say CHAOS! Wow. They have definietly checked out of school for the summer. Luckily we did have a little break with the HS band coming to perform.
It was a much needed break for the kids and for me.
Can't wait to go to the zoo with the super bees next week!
More later.

tried a new recipe.
I tried a new cupcake recipe. Strawberry Lime. They are very yummy!
TOday. I start Subbing! I have my first job this afternoon. And I already have two other opportunities later this week! I am so excited but nervous at the same time. At least they are little ones today.

Today...
I have completed all of the requirements to get my degree and y teaching certificate. Now I wait for two things. 1. Graduation-not until the 14th. 2.My Certificate to be effective-MONDAY!
So today I turned in my application to be a substitute teacher. I know that the district has needed more subs recently so I am hopeful that I will be kept busy. But in the process that means I have two full week days with NOTHING going on. I have discovered recently that I am TERRIBLE at having nothing to do. I can't sit around and twiddle my thumbs. Today, I watched the dog sleep. It has been a LONG day. I have read a LOT of blogs. I think tomorrow I will bake. There are so many cupcake recipes that I want to try. At least that will keep me busy in the morning.
Until then here is a not very clear picture of my pup Napili and my moms dog Fiona who turns 6 today!
Happy Birthday Fiona!

Tuesday + Substitute+tears=LONG DAY
So the day started out good. Mentor explained the whole day to me. Substitute showed up I explained the day to her.
Students come in complete their planners, then it's calendar time (usually 20 minutes)Then I had a pilgrim packet to finish with the students well the calendar time ended up taking 45 minutes. I improvised and finished the packet after recess and only got 2 letters finished in handwriting instead of 3. THe day continued in this way.
Tears- 2 boys who were frustrated=a lot of tears.
Questions: What ideas do people have for explaining Venn Diagrams to first graders? Because I am not sure if they completely grasped the concept with the manipulatives that we used...
