Slacker

Hello all.

I'm sorry, I have been a slacker, but I have a very good reason!

Last weekend was my birthday weekend, so I was busy spending time with friends and family for the majority of the weekend. But, the week of Jan 28th went well. I was able to do a bones experiment with the class where we compared real chicken bones with chicken bones that had been sitting in vinegar for a week. The class was so excited about observing and handling those bones. We put them back into vinegar for another week and looked at them this past Friday. You could really see how the vinegar had been breaking down the bones. Gross... but cool! My CT had to be out that Friday morning as well. I feel so bad that she has so much going on at home. But, I am glad that I am able to lead the class while she is gone. It is great knowing she has so much confidence in me!

This past week, I gave my first test. It went surprisingly well. Most students received an A or a B on it. I am so proud! The last question on the test asked the students to say what the their favorite part about bones was so far. My favorite response was this:

That we have talked so much about bones that I want to see my bones.

Isn't that precious! lol I told her great response, but to please stay safe! I don't need a student breaking a bone to see them. :] 

This week we are moving on to muscles in science and characteristics of regions in social studies. We are also publishing their personal narratives this week. I was supposed to take on literacy but with the crazy week last week, we just didn't have time lay out master plan. We did get that down last week, so I am set to pick it up next week. Luckily we had an extra week planned in, which we subbed in for this week instead. lol Things work out sometimes! 

Oh and this Saturday I am moving. So this week is all about back up and getting as many lessons done as possible. 

Until this weekend.... Hopefully. lol I may be delinquent again thanks to the move. Fingers crossed that all goes well!!!!
