Wednesday

I am feeling a bit unstrung today. The class was a bit chaotic and it made me feel frazzled. I am not sure about today, mixed feelings. Is a successful day defined by the children participating in the crafts and leaning activities planned for them? Should I define success simply by checking off my list of things to do? If so, today was successful. But, I am left feeling like so many improvements could be made for tomorrow and the days to come. Maybe I am asking to much of myself and of them for being a new teacher in the room. The other days have been great, so maybe it is an off day. I shouldn't make mountain out of a molehill. But, I will still try to fix my molehill tonight!

After school we had our Survivor pool meeting. I will be cheering for Jessica DeBen to win or to come in second. Hey, there is $190 up for grabs for the two winners!

On Friday, there is a school dance and I have volunteered to help chaperon. On Saturday, there is a Tea Dance, to celebrate 50 years since the sisters came to teach school here. And either this Monday or the Monday following the conferences (I think the 26Th)...the school is cooking breakfast for all of the staff! I hear rumors that they go all out and it is awesome.

I haven't got a TV, so I took out some books on tape from the Library in High Level. I have listened to John Grisham's "The Juror", Stuart Little, and Anne of Green Gables. I can't wait to take out more books. It's nice to listen to them while I do my prep at home in the evenings and eat my dinner...all by my lonesome. Oh, don't feel bad for me. I hang out with people too. It's just nice to have the evenings to myself sometimes.
