I am trying to get back on track but I think I just need the weekend to recharge and reflect.
Send me some positive vibes! I sure could use them!!
Here is my behavior chart in my classroom. This is behind my CT's desk so don't mind all the papers strewn about. It seems to be working..on this day a lot of kiddos moved up. Today, however, no one made it to pink. I realized that I was wasn't balancing it out enough. So I had to make some adjustments to my management.The other night we had an alumni mentor night, with food, mock interviews and q and a's with alumni. Such a neat experience. I was against it at first but it seemed to actually be helpful - I took four pages of notes like a crazy person.
It is Read Across America week in celebration of Dr. Seuss' birthday and on Wednesday we could dress up like a storybook character! I was Thing 1 and my CT was Thing 2 - put on a red shirt and make a ghetto circle label - easy peasy.
I'll leave with this quote..
"You have to have a bad day every once in a while... otherwise you'll never know what a good day feels like."
That is all I feel like writing for now.
Loves.
You are such an amazing teacher Sabrina! I hope that things go better for you as you enter the 2nd week of your takeover. I can completely relate. This whole experience is like a wild roller coaster ride with a lot of ups and downs/ twists and turns. Stay strong! You are such an inspiration and I know that those awesome 1st graders adore you! Hugs my dear!
