Well, evil respiratory cold has officially elevated itself to bronchitis status. grr This cough makes me sound like certain death. Hopefully it will be over soon! I just need to get through one more week. Well, not even full week. We have Monday, Tuesday, half days both Wednesday and Thursday, then Winter Break. Tomorrow will be spent doing my planning for the week. I haven't had the energy for it after teaching all week. Today was spent shopping! We got all of it done except my father and brother..the two most difficult people on this planet to shop for! Boy, am I pooped! We don't have anything for the in-laws yet, either, but we do know what we're getting. It's just a matter of heading where we need to head, which involves going to Tucson. That will be sometime this week, or perhaps tomorrow night. I just have one rant for the day. I HATE BEING SHORT!!! If I want nice pants, I have to spend $80 on petite pants at a petite store because those are the only ones that are cut to fit me properly. boo!
I am looking forward to this next week, though. We are going to read the Polar Express and make hot chocolate. We are also going to read "Latkes, Latkes Good to Eat" and do a Hanukkah lesson. On Tuesday it's Christmas in Germany complete with streusel! Sehr gut! I also want to do Los Posados. Kwanzaa is on our calendar, too, but that requires research. I am doing a "Christmas around the world" theme and it's a lot of work! However, it's highly worth it because these kids aren't exposed to anything outside of Benson. I have had two parents who know what they are talking about tell me I'm doing a good job! :-) They also said they could never do it. That made me feel pretty good, since I've been so down about it all lately. I think things are finally smoothing out! It's taken almost the whole semester, but the kids have learned who reigns queen! :-) Spring semester should go very nicely if things continue one their current rate. |
