What a Week

Let me just say I am so glad it is Friday. I have felt very run down this week and am ready for a weekend break. Scratch that my mom is coming in the morning to help me organize Lilibug's room. I'm excited to get her toys and things nice and neat so she will know what she has instead of playing with the same old things. Just wish I didn't have to get up early!

Anyway- School was good this week. I started the week with an IEP meeting. So thankful I have not one but two wonderful student teachers who took over while I was in the meeting. We worked hard on the letter Vv, Georgia regions, habitats and sorting plants and animals into habitats, 3 branches of government, black history,  beginning sounds, cooking skills, cleaning skills, and self-help skills. When ya list it out like that we did a lot. (Remember I work with severe and profound kiddos-or super special kiddos!) We will have to revisit government though. They just couldn't seem to get into it.

I am a little overwhelmed with state assessments. They are do soon and getting everything in order always seems to stress me out. I say each year I am going to do better with my time lines and I don't. I will say that I am super proud of the tasks I created and how well my kiddo has done on each. It is nice to be able to plan, create, teach, and see gains made.

Oh yeah I got all my Title 1 materials in! Only one item was a bust! I hate when you order something and it just isn't what you expected. The one thing I got was just ill made. It was a fine motor game and again not worth taking out of the package. Everything else has been great. I got a wonderful All Around Learning™ Circle Time Activity Set from Learning Resources  that my kiddos loved and is easy to use and adapt for my kiddos needs. I also got a tunnel that my kids had to answer an educational/functional question correctly to go through it. Super fun and gross motor. I forgot to take pictures. I will try to remember next week. I'm still trying to get the hang of blogging. I need tips.

Okay I think that's a good recap of my week. I feel like I am getting in a lot of teaching time in the past few weeks and am praying it continues. I think my students are maturing and ready to sit for longer periods and comprehend more.

Hope you had a great week!!!
