1 Down, 3 To Go

Nothing like ending the week with a 9 week party with two of your four team members not there. Little chaotic, but we all survied haha! This week ending marked the end of the 1st 9 weeks. I can hardly believe that I already have already completed 9 weeks. It seems just like yesterday that I was sitting in my First Year Teacher meetings. 

I feel like the past 9 weeks have been a success. A whole lot has happened in such a short period of time. There have been times where I have been super stressed, but I would say for the most part that everything has been pretty good. I have made it a point to do exciting things for the kids in class. I feel like that most of them are enjoying math (as much as a 4th grader can). I have learned that there are times that you are going to have to adjust on the fly, but everything is a learning experience thus far. There are things that I have really enjoyed doing that I will definitely do again, but there are definitely things that I am going to have to change next time around. 

This week coming up is packed full of stuff. It is Red Ribbon Week which means a different dress up day throughout the week. There is Fall Ball Frenzy where the teachers are playing the parents in a softball game. That is going to be crazy fun. There is also the Marquette Family Dance on Friday. I have two practices during the week that I have to go to. Oh and not to mention... It's conference week. I have to meet with all of my homeroom kiddos parents. I am super nervous about that. I can talk to kids all day, but give me their parents and boom I'm deer in headlights. I just gotta relax, and take it one parent at a time. It's going to be a busy week, but I'll get through it and do the best that I can at everything that I do.

The first 9 weeks has flown by, and it is safe to say that I love my job. I love the kids, the people I work with, and my school. All of us put together really make of The Greatest Show on Earth. You would be hard pressed to find a school that is more passionate and enthusiastic about it's students having a great learning experience.
