Sunday night...
Prepping for school tomorrow because well, yes, I had a week to do it but there just is not enough hours or days to get to all the things I want to accomplish in just one week...a week that also includes two days of Parent Teacher Conferences and a holiday. #teacherprobs
Anyway, working on new workstations and a fun craftivity and writing project that I cannot wait to do with my kiddos...tomorrow...er...Tuesday...we'll see.
My most favorite holiday story ever...
I mean, really??? Who doesn't love the Grinch? Or rather the story depicting the metamorphosis of the main character from beginning to end?! Huh?! kidding...but true
Yes, I absolutely love reading this story with both my classroom kiddos and my real loves. I'm especially partial to the original...the one I have memorized since I was a kid. Every time I read the story, my voice grows deeper and I suddenly take on the expressions of Boris Karloff (the original narrator). I L O V E this story!
This year I decided to change up my December a little bit. Instead of waiting til the week before break to read about the Grinch, I decided to launch it right away when we return. Since we have been learning all about communities and will soon be exploring the differences between needs and wants, I thought this was a perfect connector. Thinking about how a community comes together to celebrate what they have in each other rather than the material objects. Love! And really, I will probably make about 10 more connections when I'm in the midst of teaching it all. I'll be sure to share soon! (Hoping tomorrow with pictures!)
In the meantime, in the few quiet moments after teeth have been brushed and stories have been read, I'll admit that while I'm putting the kids to bed, I'm totally scrolling my phone and am quickly becoming obsessed with ecards. Probably may have noticed a time or two.
And the sad thing is...I can't tell which ones resonate louder with me (or that I'm laughing louder at)...the teacher or the mom cards. #ohbrother
Here's a few from today that caught my eye as we head into December...
