I'm glad you're alive! I'...Hi Miss P!<br /><br />I'm glad you're alive! I've missed reading your posts.<br /><br />We get one prep a week (50 minutes). But I only have 33 sixth graders (self-contained) so I have fewer kiddos than you. No matter what, it is NEVER enough!<br /><br />I finally took pictures of my living room/dining room so that I would FACE UP to the fact that school had invaded my home. This is my work weekend. Goal: At least half of the stuff gone (and that does not mean put into a bigger box!)<br /><br />I can't imagine adding grad school into the mix! Or a wedding!!<br /><br />I'll be checking back to see what other suggestions have been offered. But I will say this: You are not alone (in the chaos), and sometimes knowing that helps. And you have encouraged me to get back to work, so your frustration has been a positive influence on a another teacher! (I meant that to sound like a good thing... YAY, you!)<br /><br />Kim<br /> <a href="http://joyin6th.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Finding JOY in 6th Grade</a>Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03596768050411395194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961077845661183532.post-34207113998046363932011-11-05T08:55:50.574-07:002011-11-05T08:55:50.574-07:00Hang in there - things can only get better! I lov...Hang in there - things can only get better! I love reading your blog and have just planned a little unit at the end of our year (in Australia) based on your 'Where I'm From' poem unit. Thanks for the inspiration, from Alex (English but living in Australia, teaching Year 6s in a little tiny country school and looking forward to 16th December - end of year!)Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17150451134133046637noreply@blogger.com
