Day 2: 

  • Opening the door to greet my morning class and my one student brought me a homemade bead necklace.  Those are the best.

  • I use a ton of music in my classroom.  Today, I taught them this catchy Heidi Butkus (I use her religiously) shape song/dance about circles to the tune of The Farmer in the Dell:
A circle is like the sun,
A circle is like the moon,
A circle is like the ball I bounce every afternoon!
My afternoon class was particularly enthusiastic about this song and we sang it about ten times throughout the day...maybe even more.  At dismissal, two students excitedly ran out the door and started singing it for their moms.  

  • The teacher next door to me said that it was nice to have me as her neighbor.

  • After coming home completely overwhelmed and frustrated about how a few things have been going with one of my classes, I got a lot accomplished and made a plan for myself.  I feel motivated to start it tomorrow.
