Labor Day: Hooray!

Does it sound like I'm excited for the Labor Day holiday weekend?  

I am:  But for different reasons than you may suspect!  

In my book, Labor Day equals the pathway to Normalville.

Two weeks and two days under my belt.

Expectations:  Check.

Procedures:  Check.

Teambuilding and Classbuilding:  Check and check.  

Benchmark assessments:  Check, check, check, check, check! 

I finally feel like I can crack open my teacher binder and make some plans that I won't have to CHANGE tomorrow.    

Here's a little Pretzel-Unpretzel for you.

If you don't have Silly Sports and Goofy Games you are missin' out, y'all!

And...a pre-emptive link for Timer Tools in the background.  

Because people ALWAYS ask about it.  ALWAYS.

Apparently, there's a downloadable version these days...I've the CD version For.  Ev.  Er.

  

Now.  

We started math this week, don't get me wrong.  

There has been SOME semblance of normalcy.  

And miracle of miracles, we're getting our 10 minutes of multiplication fact practice in every day!   

However, in 15 years, there's  no point in breakin' the seal on my teacher binder prior to Labor Day. 

I just end up switching, changing, and rearranging!  

So...until Labor Day, my plans live on my computer, and I print them daily.

Cut and paste is my middle name.  

Have you seen everyone's super lovely teacher binders?  

Yeah.

(Insert audible squeal of delight.)

Me too.

I wish I could just click over to TPT and POOF!  

The perfect plan scheme for me.

Not.  Gonna.  Happen.

I'm a total weirdo in my teacher binder.

Seriously.  

When I do finally get the nerve to show it, you'll have one of three responses:

1)  "What the what!?!"

2)  "Huh.  Kind of weird, but it intrigues me.."

3)  "Honey?  We need to take stock in Post-It Notes.  Now."

So...either tomorrow or Monday I'll mosey on over to school and make the magic happen.

Then I'll snap a little pic of my plan scheme and share it.

Someday. 

Soon.

Maybe.
