A week of sickness





Well, can you guess how many kids I had out of 10 this week? From Tuesday to Friday I had three, four, and five kids on separate days. I got standardized tests done, other assessments done so students could pass standards. I didn't do the curriculum all four days, did review, read two of my favorite books. W read Panda Cake, which was my favorite book when I was little. My parents read it over and over to me because I liked all the animals in it. We also read Stranger in the Woods. My Nanna gave it to me and it's about a stranger that all the animals are trying to find in the winter time. It's a lot of fun!.

I started getting sick on Monday also but held off until Friday for a sick day. I wish I could sleep during the day but I couldn't so I only rested about 2 1/2 hours, not slept, for that long all day. So I was bugged by that so I found homework sheets for next week, made my newsletter, made breadsticks and marinara sauce, which turned out excellent.

The weather has been crazy. We got a ton of snow and it drifted like I have never seen before. I saw drifts as deep as my waist and as tall of me; and believe me, you know I'm not that tall.

I'm so bummed to be sick or else I would be skiing and snowshoeing. Berry is going stir crazy and she takes it out on running away from me and following the ski team. One of boys had to catch her for me. I was drenched when I got home from the heavy and wet snow that was coming down so fast. I was so flippin angry with her that I threw her in the kennel for an hour.

Some good news! The grant was passed to keep the Early Childhood Teacher for the three and four year olds! I'm so glad Sarah is going to be staying. She is an excellent teacher and I can't wait to see all the wonderful things she has done with the new kindergartners.

Until next week!
