I cannot believe it's almost April. February was incredibly busy...so I expected it to fly by. But March? That was supposed to be the long month..and it's pretty much over.
So my kids have to take an EOG (End of Grade test) in order to pass onto the next grade. This test is in about 24 school days. So when you think...I teach reading for 1 hr every day to each class...that gives them 24 hours to learn how to read and use reading skills. Yikes. Oh, not to mention the other 5 days where we will be testing for benchmarks and things...Needless to say, it's a little stressful. Why they gave a 1st year teacher reading (which our school struggles the most in), still boggles my mind. Oh well, I'll do the best that I can with what I've been given.
On a non-school note, for those who don't know...Grant got a job in Fayetteville and moved down about 2 1/2 weeks ago. He is staying with us so that he can take his time to find a place to live. Things are going well with him here. We've introduced him to our friends and are having a good time. Oh, and thanks to him...we are now addicted to 24. "You don't have TV, how is this possible?" You may ask...well, the joy of knowing people. One of our friends has 6 seasons. So, we've been watching a lot of that. So for Spring Break, we will be hanging around here and probably camping either in the mountains or at the beach. I'm thrilled. I love camping.
We're also getting our summer plans in order. I can't believe that we have almost made it through our first year of teaching and we're doing well. This makes me really happy.
Well, I guess this is all for now. Wishing everyone the best.
