Monday

It was quite a Monday.

Some days I'm just grateful to go home with my sanity and patience intact.  Sometimes those little darlings really push it.

I moved a lot of desks because students are just so chatty.  I spent my entire recess picking crayons up off the floor because a student had had a come apart and had thrown my entire bin onto the floor.

We didn't have specialties.

Maybe it's good that Mondays are the hardest days because the rest of the week will be easier.

I met with my team after school and I said that my reading group during WIN time was boring and I didn't know how to spice it up.

Alissa shared some gross reading passages with me.  They are about things like earwax and boogers.  She said students love them and I don't doubt her.

I'll give them a try.

We're all just doing the best we can.

As a counterweight to a manic Monday, I assembled a little shelf for my plants.  

It made me happy.
