This is what one of our Little grade one EAL boys came along and said when we were out running. It was just so cute!
I had a weird start yesterday where my eye once again felt like it had something in it and I literally couldn’t stay awake. I actually fell asleep at my desk and one of my colleagues woke me up. Don’t have a clue what that was about, but I did come home last night and go straight to sleep!
Teaching:
We started a new warm-up in writer’s workshop to practice fluent writing. We put a topic on the board and the students have to write as much as they can about it in two minutes. It went well as did the beginning of their story writing:)
We changed desks and we started learning about Canada in the afternoon. The students were super excited to find out where we got to. Since we’re still in BC we did an overview of the province and today we’ll learn about Abbotsford.
Knitting:
I had a lovely massage and then spent a bit of time on my April Tank.
Socializing:
Tuesday has turned into trivia night at the pub. There were three of us last night, but I really wasn’t much help:(. It was still fun though!
Have fun!

A Petite Slice of Life 
sounds like a good day. I”m glad your students are enjoying the writing process. it is always a challenge to get everyone willing to write for any length of time.
Yes! This is especially for one little guy who gets stuck on how to spell one word and can’t get past it
that gets frustrating because part of you wants to just say it is spelled ____ can we move on? and part knows it is better to have the child work it out on his own. You want to move forward, but what is the best way? I’m sure as you do more and more writing in this style, he will begin to move forward
We are hoping so as he is heading into grade three next year and still is crying every day about thus
I love trivia night with friends! I used to do that but we stopped. I should start it up again. Glad you had a good day!
It’s a lot of fun! We’re hoping for a big group next week:)
Oh no!! May want to get the eye checked out.
Some people are really good at trivia – I’m not either, but it sounds fun.
It is a lot of fun:)
Hi AJ – I saw this on Twitter today – never too early to think about CHRISTMAS VACATION. 🙂

Thank you!
Figured you could pre-plan your time off … or was this when you take your family trip?
Yes we are going away as a family at Christmas for the first time!
That’s right – it is at Christmastime. They show them over the course of the year though, so you can catch up them.
Oh I will definitely need to see them:)
Narcolepsy???? Trivia was a riot when we joined Al’s friends in OKC
Oh I sure hope not!!! Trivia is always fun, even when you don’t know anything 🤣
The writing prompt with 2 minutes is a great idea. The kids can’t stall and it makes them think faster.
Hopefully you’re feeling much more rested today!
It was definitely a better day:)
Good 🙂
That’s crazy about falling asleep at school!!
I would be terrible at answering trivia questions, but I’d have a ton of fun trying and listening!
It was super weird and disconcerting!
I knew nothing on Tuesday night, but it was still fun:)
I would feel the same way! Well I’m glad you had fun! 🙂
oh and ps…I have an exciting post going up tomorrow that I think you’ll appreciate 😉
Yay! I just went and got caught up on a couple, but I’ll check back in tomorrow:)
Sounds good:)
