J writes a story

So I spent most of Superbowl Sunday working in my classroom but I did stop long enough to get this precious story from J on video.  I am sad that I missed the previous story about the gorgeous prince though. :)

Here is the translation:

Once upon a time there was a princess and a mermaid. And then, once upon a time there was a cowboy. And then, there was a queen. The queen has a crown.  And then there was a mean mermaid and it stealed the queenses crown.  The queen was sad and she did not get another crown ever, ever again.  So she tiptoed to the woman’s room carefully and did not wake up the woman. And they did wake up the woman and tiptoed fast back to the crown.  And the queen said, “no more tipping” we took the crown already so, then they were at the woman’s and tiptoed carefully again and the mermaid was back to sleep. 

Hmm!  That must be a wot of words. 

Wouldn't it be great to have kids tell a story on flip video or ipad video?

6 weeks of grace!

Here we go. 20th year! 10th year in 2nd grade! Where has the time gone?! Today I want to talk about what I have learned in the last few years (crazy journey we've been on huh?) It is.... Give yourself grace the first 6 weeks of school! I no longer start the first week of school with the mindset that I'm gonna get up early and workout, come home do a load of laundry, cook a healthy meal etc. etc. NOW I tell myself you may not workout for 6 weeks and it's OK, laundry may pile up (I warn my family), I'm not gonna cook much (I warn my family-actually they know by now). I may let myself stay later at school, maybe even a weekend BUT THEN after 6 weeks are up I implement the rest of it back in my life. This is the best advice I can give to young teacher families.  What have you learned about home/work balance??

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 this because you have li
