The classroom is in order now how about the house!!

I blogged last month about back to school routines. Oh how idealistic they were. I was soooo in dreamland. Someway somehow I got wayyyyyyyyyyyyy far behind at school (oh yeah too much time in blogland) sooo I've spent the last two days getting my room in order and now it is time for the house. The next go will be this daily cleaning checklist found here. Deep cleaning will still be done on Friday nights/Saturday mornings. Wish me luck!!

Looking for Nebraska 2nd grade Science Classroom teachers!

This summer I am working on developing our district curriculum for the new Science Standards. Anyone else? That's all.

The teacher has lice :/

You itched your head just reading that didn't you?? Lice does not discriminate. Anyone can get it. Even me. So we have A LOT of hair at our house and about a year ago I decided it would be a good idea to grow out my hair to see how long I could go before I couldn't stand it anymore. It is a year and a half later and I had/have lice. Nice experiment huh? So my daughter's Kindergarten teacher is a good friend of mine and the day after Thanksgiving break came the e-mails. "What a day, I've sent 2 home with lice and another 2 told me that they spent Thanksgiving break bagging up toys and shampooing with special shampoo." and then "5th one just went home." I raced home at 5:00 to discover that my kinder had a head full and guess who slept in a hotel bed with her over Thanksgiving? Yes me!! Time to freak out. Please don't do this. It doesn't help whatsover and it will be OK, I promise. If you are reading...
