I had a really great day at work today. In fact, today went so well I 'm sitting here waiting for the other shoe to drop and wondering what's going to go wrong next. And aren't I just a little ray of sunshine?
I spent a lot of time over the Thanksgiving break trying to plan out my literacy centers and get the rotations working smoothly. I've been trying to do this since September, but I've been so bogged down with other paperwork that I haven't been able to do it. I broke down and asked some moms of kids in my class to help me out one day a week with filing, paperwork, copies, bulletin boards, and stuff like that. I've been trying to be SuperTeacher and do everything myself, but it's just not possible. Today I had a mom do all that stuff for me for about two hours, which freed me up to catch up on my reading record-keeping. What a great feeling--being CAUGHT UP!
I have another mom coming tomorrow to work on organizing my class library. I'm separating the Accelerated Reader books from the non-AR books, then dividing then into Reading Levels and genres. Everything is color-coded and neatly labeled into little plastic (also color-coded) baskets. It just makes my little OCD heart go pitter-pat. I can't even express how happy it makes me to gaze at my pretty little bookshelves and see all that tidiness going on.
Yes, I realize there's probably medication I should take for this.

About Me
- Teble
- I'm a wife to one, mom to two (well, three if you count the dog), a fourth grade teacher, and a novelist.
The Princess and the Trolls
It's lonely being the only Princess in a castle full of boys, but I get by with a little patience, a dash of humor, and a whole lot of Lysol. Welcome to my little corner of cyberspace, where I ramble on about my family, my dog, teaching, writing, and things that annoy me or make me laugh. Usually the latter.

Nah....no meds. And you will be amazed at how quickly everything falls into place after the Christmas holidays. Kids grow and mature and FINALLY get into your routine and are producing when whoops.....here comes the end of the school year. A whole new bunch in September and you get to start all over again!
It has nothing to do with medication, just with love to books. I can totally understand you.
Love and hugs, Sanna
