It was a tough day, but also a good one:)
Teaching:
Even with two boys away, it was a tough day as some of my students are really struggling with the expectations right now. I’m hoping it’s just the full moon affecting them and it will get better, but I’m not sure. I guess we will see, but it’s truly exhausting right now:(
It’s amazing what I end up teaching about! Today, I taught “how to blow your nose”. Ugh this is not what I went to school for so many years to do!!!
I at least also taught how to print the letter “a”, and how to count backwards by 5s and different types of lines in art.
It was quite the day, but at least it ended with me finishing my last report card. 🎊🎉. I still need to edit them, but I always feel better once I have something that I can hand in! Now hopefully with those done I can quit stress eating!
It got even better when my second box from MEC showed up! I now have all my honey stinger chews and waffles:)
Exercise:
I was late at work so it was almost directly to Athletic Yoga. There were some interesting moves tonight!!! And why is every workout concentrating on arms and back right now? I was already sore from yesterday!
Reading:
I’m still on my second Blackwell Brothers book, but it’s coming along. I think I’ll go crawl into bed and finish it:)
Have fun!

Hahahaha “how to blow your nose” is a life skill, they’re lucky you’re teaching them 😂😊
Ugh I wish their parents would teach them!
I know. Teachers often end up having to pick up the slack of parents, which is sad.
It is sad, but with everything more expensive, parents work longer hours so it falls to us:(
Nose blowing should be taught at home 😤 I have had to explain to a child why it is not ok to wipe her snotty nose on my jumper!!!!!!
Yup they can start to look gross very quickly!
The kids or my jumper looking gross very quickly? 😛 😉
The kids, but probably both!🤣
It is nice that the kids still get excited at the early stages and aren’t convinced yet that school isn’t cool. I like to hear your stories of elementary school teaching.
Oh they’re definitely excited!
I know some kids that need that lesson as well, usually in the middle of their piano lesson!!
Ugh that would be the worst as how do you disinfect a piano?!?!
Bleach water on the keys, but that’s why they don’t get to play Evelyn…I don’t think bleach would be very good for the ivory.
Yes I know bleach well! I’ve started getting the kids to wipe things down with a Clorox wipe on Friday afternoons
I’ll ask Zach if the full moon affects his students. …….interesting thought AJ
All week has been super crazy! I’d love to hear if he finds it makes a difference!
Only one more week of the November challenge – gonna make it?
We’ll see:)
