because I didn't pull out the homework from this morning I pull out their homework because I said homework packet every week and on Fridays I just take it out and whoever finishes it or does it or whatever they get a little smarty so we're gonna do that at the end of the day and school is out here at 225 230 the kids need to be in the hallway so really 235 is when we were like going towards dismissal so yeah that's what that's what's happening and these LED lights have came well they could see that they have blessed a girl like I love them my kids love them may have different colors and it just sets our mood normally I have common music playing but since we had to use like our projector for something for our writing the writing lesson was basically it really not a lesson but they write throughout the week we have like a book that we read and then we do over drawing or whatever and then on Fridays we put it on the board and we discuss our drawing of what we drew it's all different and they're still interesting with the kids talked about and we're actually starting to write like one sentence so I like right I like my they copy that and then they they sound out the words I am sorry guys I am tired it is Friday my room is tore up from fun Friday my stuff is all over the place we did our math we did like a little sheet like a review type thing and we're gonna do some science we took our science test yesterday so gonna do some I don't know we're gonna continue fun Friday or way cuz normally it ends out before lunch we have lunch at 10:30 and they have research director there and then we come back from math and writing so we already did the math and writing part so I don't know if I want to bring out Plato again and all that we might just pull up something to state the size kid or something like that Friday's is like one of my favorite days of the week not just because we have the weekend but I can be more creative with my kids I know other teachers may not do it that way I also do assessments like I did some sight-word assessments while the kids were doing their fun Friday I would pull some of the kids and that's when I would do my site word testing and all that kind of stuff make it work anything that is related today they can pull them on Friday because we have four Center rotations Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday and all four centers all kids see me and then on Friday you know we have that day so it's working out so good so far and I this is week three of the center rotation in the for center rotation and the phone Friday so every

it there's something new that they start they're starting yeah my door was unlocked and it's always a lot I don't know what happened between bringing them back from resource or what so I got a nasty look but not about the principal but you know just people that are working the opening of the door job so I don't know how I feel about that I still feel like I have in my stomach cuz I'll you know how you had that expectation that you want to do exactly what you're supposed to do it just didn't happen I had my my blind down I had the kids in the the area where they need to be in the lights were off and my door was unlocked yeah so it's all good how great the I guess I mean what can you do you win some you lose some but you live you live the fight another day now it's called pick up Jada which is my four-year-old her school is up the street literally that at the high school they have a pre-k program and that's where she's at and I had to pick my husband up cuz our car is out of commission our second car is out of commission so I'm doing all of that so every morning I'm picking and dropping I'm dropping off people and in any afternoons I'm picking them up so he gets off at 6:00 ish o'clock and Jada has to be picked up by 4:15 it's three o'clock now I have to leave the school later like after 3:30 but I can go pick her up and bring her back so that way I don't get a fee again but I'm I'm gonna pick her up and then bring her back here and we're gonna just hang out kind of make some copies well I'm trying to make copies before I pick her up I got like 10 15 minutes I

comment subscribe all that jazz um press your teacher guys I think um I think I'm okay and all my likes I'm just trying to stay in my lane my lane and it's so easy to like be and everybody else's Lane and trying to look in somebody else's Lane and you get off track so my whole goal for this first second nine weeks is to just be consistent with whatever I'm doing and making sure that I'm reaching my kids and building those connections and making sure that my kids feel the love that I have for them and that is my main goal all the learning and stuff goes in between all that but I'm making sure that my kids are engaged and loved feeling loved so yeah that's that's what's going on and I would say you guys later on all right guys I'm gonna end the vlog here tonight um it has been a long Friday
