"My Humorous and Helpful Thoughts About Teaching / Educational Resources for Your
Classroom / Music and Random Fun"
This has been the month from you know where. I have gazillion and one IEPs to write as well as screenings through referrals. Not to mention, I am expecting a drop in evaluation some time soon. We have had snow, inservice, and meetings on Fridays. Not having my full Friday puts me way behind because this is my day to catch up on lesson planning, etc. All week long, I arrived at work at least an hour early and left over two hours late. Working from 7:45 - 6:30 is too long of a day. This whole business is leaving me with a lot of stress, and no time to keep up with my blog and other bloggers. It has even affected my sleep. I will be better once they drop in on me, and I don't have to worry about every lesson being evaluation perfect. I put high standards on everything I do, which makes for a hard road right about now. One "nice-ity" I've had is this cute little song, by Twenty One Pilots, that I keep hearing on the radio. It seems like a perfect fit right about now.
Last week, I took the stage as a dancing queen. Let's see if you can find me. Here's a hint. I chose to hide behind an incredibly gorgeous teacher in hopes that all of the daddies would be too busy looking at her to even notice the old lady behind her. I don't know if it worked or not, but I do know, I was pretty relaxed on stage when I thought about the beauty queen in front of me.
On another note, did you notice the beautiful woman in the front row with the purple boa. That's my friend Tanya. Last Tuesday, the second grade teachers put a red carpet (mural paper) with stars in her classroom. We've all been vicariously living her dream as she's partying with the stars. Her husband, Boo, is up for a GRAMMY AWARD for producing Uptown Funk! I hold onto every picture Tanya posts on Facebook as she shares her weekend. She even posted a picture of her with Taylor Lautner. I guess she's seeing plenty of non-musicians on her journey, too. I plan to be looking for her on the Grammy Awards, tonight, and hope Boo brings a trophy home to Memphis. So proud! Here is Boo's production.
