Well it’s been a busy day, but not in a bad way:)
Teaching:
We had a change of routine today and that in addition to the full moon definitely affected my students!
We watched the intermediate public speaking in the morning. The kids lasted through all of it which surprised me. The kids did great, but I thought it was horrible that they still weren’t allowed to remove their masks to do their speech. There was only one kid in the gym at a time and we were all on Teams watching it!
We also got some chalkboard spelling done this morning. Lately I hate doing anything with the whiteboards because someone is always telling me their pen doesn’t work😖
We did relay races in gym and got our math drill done. Lunch was when two students decided to not use their words to solve their problems. I came in to reports of the girl trying to throw her chair at the boy. The girl is dramatic so I doubt this actually would have happened but I tore a strip off both of them!
This afternoon we threw the plan out the window and cleaned our desks and then went outside to play.
I’ve been super tired lately so left right away. I actually also had to get home and get my bike over to the repair shop for it’s tune up tomorrow.
Exercise:
The one time my slow Internet drives me crazy is when I am trying to do my FitOn class. Today it was shoulders, arms and core and I will definitely feel it tomorrow. I got smart though and did other jobs while waiting for it to buffer each time. I also ran with the kids in gym for a half kilometer. I am definitely having trouble with the fact that my mileage this month is so low:(
Knitting:
The big thing of the day was my new sweater. I finished the Kids Flannel by Alicia Plummer last night and wore it today. I think I had more compliments today on this sweater than I have ever gotten before!
This picture is for all of you who are always after me to show the sweater on me. I of course can pick this picture apart in a Zillion ways, but I’ll live with it. the sweater is made out of the discontinued yarn, Carisia by Patons. It is an acrylic/wool blend and not my usual, but it was what I had in my stash that worked. I ended up loving it because it is so soft. The only thing I’m questioning is whether I should use the 1/3skein I have left to lengthen the sleeves??
Well I need sleep, have fun!

Congratulations on your finish – it looks great! I like shorter sleeves myself – are you comfortable with how long they are, or will you be happier with them longer?
I think I might lengthen them, but just so I can use up the little bit of yarn I have left
Thank you for granting my wish and posting a pic of yourself in the new sweater.
Lol you’re welcome:)
one person in the whole gym… yeah they should have let them speak without the mask on. But, I’m impressed your students sat through that all. it’s funny that the things you think… yeah this isn’t going to work often are the times they pull it together and show that they are capable of attending.
I like the sweater. the sleeves don’t look short on you in the picture, so I say leave it. Of course I’m one of those people who almost always pushes up my sleeves anyway
It was silly – three judges with masks on at the back of the gym (spread out) and one kid
Your sweater is awesome. I love when you show us your knit talent!
Thank you! I am super happy with how it turned out:)
Love the sweater AJ, the kiddos did wonderfully today, in spite of the full moon!
It was like they got an early start in the full moon and then calmed doen
The sweater looks great and you look great in it.
Thank you!
