It was an okay day, but I’ve been tired all day even after going to bed a half hour early last night.
Teaching:
I now have seven kids who have changed levels in the reading program and I am super happy about that, so happy that we started the day with two prizes for kids who had changed. We then proceeded to work on the long o sound in phonics. One of my little girls finally got tested by the SLP and it’s a bigger problem than expected:(
We started a tiny bit of addition and the kids then had library. I spent my prep walking home for lunch as somehow I went to school with just grapes for lunch. I guess it got me to run my car🤷🏼♀️
This afternoon we had silent reading and I took my lowest reading group. The two girls now have all of their sounds and the boy is only missing one- so at least there has been some improvement!
We also worked further on our hibernation work. I love science Asian ways learn things too.
The best part of my day was when my students begged me to read books to them rather than showing a magic school bus video. I love that they love books!❤️❤️❤️
Exercise:
My run was supposed to be later,but Sarah texted to just go ahead without her. Dennis and I ran to the mill and back, but once again it felt tough. I also got my 1:30 plank done. I read during my plank today and that really helped!
Trivia:
I really wanted a nap,but had to pick up milk so did that instead.

Glad you were able to get your student tested and now can get the extra help needed to support her learning. I’m glad to hear your low group is making progress. It always feels good when you start to see things clicking for the struggling students.
I knew more answers in your trivia today than I normally do. Hope you are able to get some sleep soon
Well now i have to wait for a stupid SBT before anything else can happen for the two children I’ve recently had tested🙄
I have been sleeping really well, just still tired:(
That’s great!it’s a really close game right now
How exciting that you kiddos are advancing in reading!
It is so exciting!
If your kids beg you to read books to them, you are doing something right! 🙂 I usually scroll through my newsfeed when I plank.
I have been reading which really helps!
Oh my – I only got Tom Hanks’ job and Roy Rogers’ horse. 🙂 I heard “Jessie’s Girl” a zillion times and didn’t know that part. 🙂
That’s pretty good! Trivia has definitely made me start listening to things more closely
Well, sometimes I surprise myself about what I remember about pop culture and other times I wonder where I was during this era. I have never read or seen any Harry Potter so I am hopelessly lost with those characters.
Oh I love the Harry Potter books, but didn’t love the movies. I would recommend them if you like a good story
Oh, they are not just for kids? I know you read the books in advance of introducing them to kids.
Definitely not just for kids! I think adults get more out of it than kids. My mom loved the books too
That is interesting – I didn’t know that AJ.
Oh I always recommend it- such a good story
That’s good to know AJ – I learned something. I’m so far behind here in Reader that already an other Trivia Tuesday has passed. 🙂
