Tolmachoff Farm Field Trip

It was our first field trip this school year. We went to Tolmachoff Farm on 75th Ave and Bethany Home Rd. Everything ran smoothly. I didn't lose any children!!! I am exhausted! I guess part of that is what I did with the kids after the field trip! When we got back to the school half of the class went home with their parents who came on the trip. So I only had 10 kids. We played in the classroom for half an hour and then we went out to the playground for the last 20 minutes until dismissal. My boys LOVE to play soccer. SO they were all over there playing. I walked over to watch them and decided to play with them. They all wanted to be on my team (completely different than when I was in grade school). We picked teams and played for 15 minutes.

I always love when I have the opportunity to just play with the kids. I am always telling them this and telling them that. I am always the teacher and I love the few occasions when I can just be their friend. As a teacher you have to be careful with this and make sure they kids know when you are their friend and when you are their teacher. I make it a clear point to say to them, okay no more playing lets get serious. Then they know that I am back in teacher mode.

I gotta say though, soccer is a GREAT workout!!!

Nothing to post

It has been a week since my last post. Nothing has really been going on. Nothing worth posting I guess. Most of my time on the computer has been for homework or for trying to change my blog template. I was wanting a really cute template and the basic ones on this site are kinda boring. I am still trying to figure it out. For some reason it won't let me.

I went to my mom's family reunion on Saturday. I wasn't going to go cuz I really don't know anyone and they are all really old. Plus I had a lot of running around to do. But then Erna came with her girls and so I decided to go and then Clay decided to go and then dad said he would come. So we all ended up going and staying later then we intended to. I did still get everything done after we got back. So it all worked out.

I am very excited that Tuesday is a day off. Everytime I think about work tomorrow I remember it is only for one day and then I get a day off. Then on Wednesday I have a sub so I can go observe a teacher in the district. And Friday is our field trip to the farm. So all in all it will be an easy week (I Hope!!!)

I find it interesting that everytime I say I don't have anything to post, the post ends up being one of my longest. Sorry for the randomness!
