plans

Since it’s been a while, I thought I could possibly think of something to write about in here.  Nothing too exciting going on in my life.  Just preparing myself to start school again on Wednesday.  I hope and pray that my kidlets won’t be too wound up from the holiday break.  I went to my classroom yesterday cuz I had nothing better to do and because I needed to go.  I rearranged slightly and got a little more organized.  Really, I should go again today, but I don’t want to.  Kory is working so it’s not like I’m abandoning him.  Right now I just feel like I don’t know what to do.  I have my curriculum map for the whole year, the problem is planning.  I am so used to having actual lesson plans to follow (from student teaching and such) that now I feel so lost because I don’t HAVE to have any written, hard copy plans.  I just have to have an objective of what I want my kids to learn and how my lesson will play out.  If I were to make lesson plans, for the whole day EVERY DAY, I think I would kill myself and never want to teach again!  I think I’m just being super hard on myself.  I have such a wide range of students and abilities in my classroom that it is hard to plan for all of them and help ALL of them make a year’s worth of progress.  One exciting thing though is that the kids get to learn map skills this month.  For some reason I am SUPER excited about it!  My only problem is finding books that I can read to them that will hep me teach those skills.  I have found maybe one or two, but that’s about it! *sigh*

Okay, I’ll stop complaining now.

That’s about all that’s happening.

Love,
