Teaching is still... well it's going. I got my first benchmarks and they are awful! No exaggeration. Terrible. Depressing.
We start back with multiplication when we get back. Yay. That should go over well. I'm working on descriptive writing with them right now. I plan on bringing in a pumpkin to gut for them to write about. It all sounds very messy and like a lot of work. Blah. But I have been kind of lazy and my kids need to do something fun so I look like I'm a good teacher. ;) I'll let you know how that goes.
Parent teacher conferences went really well. I talked fast, had lots to discuss and resources to share. So the timing went well with no weird pauses. I think I may have been a little to nice about some of my students. I had 24 of 26 show up! So I think that is a pretty good average.
That's all for now. 4 weeks till Thanksgiving break, then 3 till Christmas break. I can make it!
