Last week was crazy, it went by really fast and left me feeling quite tired for the weekend. We had parent teacher conferences last Tuesday and Thursday. They were pretty enjoyable; I liked having the opportunity to meet all of the parents. Tuesday was a half-day of school for students because conferences started at 1:00pm. We had a read-a-thon to celebrate March is Reading Month. Students brought in their pillows and blankets, their favorite books, and we had snacks for them. It was a great morning, they really enjoyed the read-a-thon. We're also in the midst of a school-wide competition for reading month. Students have little slips of paper they take home and for each 20 minutes they read, their parents fill out one slip. They bring it back to school, and each slip is worth one pony for our class corral. The class with the most ponies in their corral at the end of the month wins pony rides =) The students are very excited! They announced on Friday that we are in 2nd place with 123 horses, and the 1st place class was only 4 horses ahead of us.
Friday was a crazy morning; we had one incident right at the beginning of the day, and then just before lunch I had a little girl staple her finger. She screamed at the top of her little lungs when it happened... I ran over, pulled the staple out, covered her finger with a kleenex, and took her down to the clinic. The poor thing was shaking uncontrollably! I felt so bad for her.
This week, Mrs. Miller will be gone on Wednesday and I will finally be getting paid to sub for her. It'll be the first day I have the students all alone; any other days she has been gone, there has been a sub in the room with me. I'm sure everything will be fine, though!
Only 4 weeks left, but one of those weeks is Spring Break. I can't believe everything has happened so fast! It's a strange feeling.
