The Things They Say

Not sure of the context, or what lead up to it. But it sure made me smile on a Monday morning.

Student to grown up who was working with the student: "Maybe next time you could go with me, if the Great Bartel approves."

So, even grown ups (me) will live into the words they hear.

Today I want to be Great for my students. 

Energized

Spring break started on Friday at 4 pm. And I stayed away from "teaching stuff" until about 30 minutes ago.

The first three days were awesome. Full of sleep and family.

But today I became bored. Until NOW.

At 7:20 pm I opened up my notebook (full of notes since last June) and another notebook, and looked at Amazon and Lakeshore.

I'm home.

If you need me, I will be looking, planning, reading, and thinking all things first grade for the next five days.

Sunday Scoop

As my school enters into our final quarter of the year, I am eager to make this a great week. 

Here is my plan for the day. 

Thanks to Teaching Trio for a Sunday Scoop party.
