I had three co-workers come observe me this morning. We do this peer observation thing where we are allowed to go into other rooms to see how teachers do different things. All three of them wanted to come see my students working in Learning Work Stations today. So, my room was very full. I was very proud of my students, too because they were great when our visitors were in here and did wonderful explaining what they were doing and why.
On Friday we have staff holiday breakfast. I have to bring juice. Then, our principal is letting us have some down time in the afternoon. We are allowed to show videos for fun and stuff like that this year. Plus, they are having an assembly for the kids later that I think I get to miss part of since it's during my planning period. Yeah!
Michaela had an ornament exchange at Girl Scouts tonight. She took a picture frame ornament that can hang on the tree or stand alone. It was silver with a snowman on it. She brought home a very heavy little girl teddy bear ornament. They made a craft and also collected food for a food pantry.
Anicka's aunt really helped me out tonight. She brought Michaela home for me. It is really nice to have people around me that want to help. In the past couple weeks, I've had at least four offers of people taking the kids for a while to help me out. I somehow have found myself in a place where I am very blessed by the people around me. I have only taken those offers a couple times, but it's very nice to know that people are thinking that much of me.
I've not gotten anything done that I need to tonight, but I've decided to stop stressing over it all. It will get done, it always does and I needed to just enjoy the evening at home. It's the Christmas season and I usually enjoy all of it a lot. I've not slowed down enough to even enjoy my decorated house. So, that's what I'm doing tonight. I just wish my husband were home. Oh well, only a few more days and all these late hours should be over.
