I Needed a Change | Teacher Evolution Ep 28

the website where we access our curriculum and our email is still down so I am not really able to do anything this morning everything on the computer is still down however they did go ahead and call an early dismissal and instead of a two hour early dismissal it's actually a three hour early dismissal so I'm so excited right now and just to update you guys I've changed some of my classroom management I officially have a dark hair [Music] good morning YouTube but I am really tired and it Monday which is not a good sign at all partially my fault though I stayed up until like midnight last night regime but I'm close to finishing my book so it had to be done again this morning I'm not gonna go to Duncan because I did pack myself some ice Starbucks skinny caramel macchiato I think that's what it is but it's really good it's actually helping to wean me off of Duncan so some of you commented on my last of you I thought this was really funny that if I don't go to Duncan how are you gonna know if their sign is fixed because their sign I'm like the drive-thru has like fallen back and people would always comment about how much it annoys them and annoys me too but I almost feel like it's tradition at this point so I don't know I may have to drive by like once a week and check in on them I am headed to school and I have to lesson plan this morning which usually I do not do I'm like a Monday morning because that's really irresponsible however when I wanted to lesson plan yesterday are like school website where all of our curriculum is was down the grade book was down our email was down like I could not access anything so I literally had no choice like I could not lesson plan and I checked it all the way up until like 11 o'clock at night and the website was still down so it was kind of nice because I was able to do other things last night instead of lesson planning but at the same time it kind of stinks because now this morning I have to get it done but it's okay I will get it done [Music] [Music] so I brought with me this tote bag which I used to carry stuff to and from school and home when I need to and I had taken this home before break so I thought I'd go ahead and bring it back and I stuffed it with some things first of all I just got some more of these birthday cups from my car because I've been keeping them all out there in a big box in my backseat and I need to slowly start bringing them into my classroom so I stopped three of those in there and then I also have some felt food which I got over break from Target I think this was three dollars yeah this was three dollars this is like a strawberry pie and this was three dollars as well it's like a taco set so I've gotten a bunch of like fake felt food for my second graders to have for indoor recess and surprisingly my fourth graders loved it as well like that's always a hit for indoor recess they all want to play with the felt food so when I saw these at the target dollar spot I thought I'd go ahead and grab them so this is awesome and I hope you can sense my sarcasm I get to school I get on my computer to start lesson planning and lo and behold the website where we access our curriculum and our email is still down so I am not really able to do anything this morning so we are gonna have a day of winging it wish me luck so we just had to have a representative like our team lead from each grade level go up to the office and it turns out that like our entire system is down like for the entire county I guess there was a water main break or something at the Board of Education but we cannot access like anything pretty much the only thing we can get on is Google Drive thank goodness because that's like a completely different system than what our county uses so I do have like a lot of my slides that I used like I have my science plans for today which is good I have my math plans which I can't plan the next lesson but last week because of the snow and then because of the early just not early dismissal because of the delayed opening on Friday we did not finish the previous lesson so basically math day is just going to be finishing that because we can't work on the next thing because I can't access any of it so it worked out okay like thank goodness I had things from last week but it also kind of stinks so we cannot access anything plus we're supposed to get ice later today we're supposed to get like an icy rain kind of thing in the afternoon but they're probably not going to be able to call an early dismissal because the system's down and they send messages to parents and all that but regardless I'm gonna sit here and try to grade a little bit since I can't lesson plan life update and as you can tell by the smile of my face it's a really good update everything on the computer is still down however they did go ahead and call an early dismissal and instead of a two hour early dismissal it's actually a three hour early dismissal so I'm so excited right now instead of dismissing at 3:35 we're gonna dismiss at 12:35 which this is basically like a half-day I did just go ahead with my team teachers and make like a schedule for today so it's kind of messy but from 10:40 to 11:20 we'll be block one so we're only gonna have like 40-minute blocks which I'm barely gonna be able to do anything which is good since I don't have a ton because of the internet and everything being down block two will have ten minutes of it before lunch go to lunch come back have like 30 minutes of it and then have dere time and dismiss so this is going to be an excellent Monday I'm so excited right now and I'm gonna leave school like as soon as it's over I'm not gonna hang around because if the roads are gonna be icy I want to get home and I'm gonna just sit on my couch I'm gonna watch Netflix I'm going to try to grade and like be productive maybe I'm gonna edit because I need to edit my like fitness vlog to be determined but I'm going to have a nice relaxing afternoon before I go to the gym so excited you guys so I'm spending the rest of my planting time grading because there's nothing else I can do considering the computers are all down but I came across this so it's like a tree map of some of the colonial like settlers and leaders and it's a tree map in the girl like turned that little bubble into a tree I love stuff like that like my kids are seriously so clever so I was able to get all of the assignments that I had not graded done and created with the exception of this one so I will take this home with me and I'll make it my goal to get it graded tonight but I'm super proud of myself it is now lunchtime and the morning has been as productive as it could be considering its a three hour early dismissal so with my block one we finished what we did not finish on Friday so that at least is good because we'll be starting with a brand new lesson tomorrow so that is a good thing with my block - I only had them for ten minutes before lunch so we did our warm-up passed out homework for the week they are now at lunch and when they come back we are gonna work on like this practice page but I don't think they're gonna get much done so I think I'm gonna just have them do maybe like half the problems like the odd ones or the even ones or something because there no way within 30 minutes at they're gonna be able to finish the whole thing and I would like to be at the same place with them as I am with my black one so I'm gonna sit and enjoy my lunch try to catch my breath because it's been very chaotic this morning and then within like an hour I will be leaving no complaints whatsoever I did spend about two minutes of my lunch passing out the practice page that we are gonna do when my students come back because when they come back to me we only have a half an hour and that's not very long whatsoever so this way they already have it and they can start right away and hopefully we can maximize our time all of my students have now been dismissed it is 12:59 so I'm going to go ahead and get out of here because I have no reason to stay I can't lessen play on I have one more assignment to grade but I'll take that home and do it and actually Zora has a vet appointment at one o'clock so I need to get out of here I only went home and picked her up during his lunch break and he's taking her to the vet I'm gonna stay for the actual appointment and then take her back home so after that I will go home probably Netflix and maybe do some editing or grading or something but I'm gonna have a nice relaxing afternoon and enjoy it it is 4:30 here's what has happened since I left school I went right to the vet Billy and I actually got there at the same time it worked out perfectly he left and went back to work i sat there they took her back they just did like a check-up on her and all that good stuff she is good to go which is awesome left brought her home I kind of relaxed on the couch little bit I did get grading done so all of my cry Tina's done it hasn't been put in the grade book but our whole like system is still down I still cannot access my gradebook so I will have to do that hopefully tomorrow and I got a little bit of editing done and here's where we are at one thing that you guys have to know about me as much as I am a planner I love planning things I love planning out my day and all that good stuff there also is a big part of me that is very spontaneous but only for certain things so I was sitting on the couch and I said you know what I'm gonna go change my hair and I do this very very often like I will just randomly decide that I want to change and I go out and I find a way to change so I'm about to go to a hair appointment I just made one online with like a local place they had tons of openings I'm not gonna like change too much with this style in my hair I'm just gonna get like a trim but I like my long hair I've always liked having long hair but I am however going to change the color I want to go darker not super super dark but darker so the next time you guys see me I will look a little bit different [Music] good morning YouTube I officially have a dark hair I know this a little crazy right now it's my jacket it's like puffy and is making it stick up but I actually really like it I wasn't sure how it's gonna feel I've never really had dark hair except very very briefly in college because I want to be a rebel into my hair but I actually really like it I don't know it's gonna take some time to get used to but I want to change I definitely got it I think I like it so let me know what you guys think we had a too hard delay this morning hallelujah so needed on a Tuesday I know we just had a three hour early dismissal yesterday and then a two-hour delay today so I'm being really spoiled but I will take it basically there was like freezing rain yesterday afternoon and into last night and everything was just like covered in ice so they delayed us so I got to sleep in until 8 o'clock it was amazing I'm now on my way to school again I do not have coffee but I do have the last part of my smoothie that I made this morning and I drank part of it while I was getting ready as a breakfast sorry technical difficulties here and then I'm gonna drink the rest of it when I get to school I'm sorry I've hair my mouth bad news only bad news about this so our like district computer system is still down I could not lesson again last night I literally have nothing for today that's why I have science and like social studies and our blocks are gonna be shortened so I'm sure it will work out ok but for math literally have no clue what I'm doing because I can't access the curriculum we're starting like on kind of like the next section so I just have no clue I literally have no clue if I get to school and it is still not working my team teacher has a PowerPoint going over like area and perimeter which we need to review again because it's on our quarterly assessment so that will be what I do if I cannot get to the curriculum it's a little bit frustrating but I'm like you know what I can't sit there I stressed out about it because there's nothing that I can do so I'm gonna go drive to school and I'll catch up with you guys there [Music] so hallelujah I finally I'm able to access the curriculum so I'm going to very very quickly tried to type in this lesson to my Google slides before my kids come in this morning [Music] so actually getting the plants ready for today did not take nearly as long as I thought it would I have like my answer key ready to go and then I gave my TA copies of the paper so she can make copies for me for today and I did go I did go ahead and make a list of like what our schedule will be for today because we had the two hour delay so we're only gonna have hour and a half blocks so they're only a half an hour shorter than usual usually they're two hours which won't be too too bad and actually I need to make two of these so that I can run it across the hall because two of my team teachers are actually out today they're at like a training so we need to make sure that their subs know what to do it is 10:30 so I have 25 minutes until my kids come in but it stinks because I am all done with my plans for today I'm all done with my grading but I cannot put grades in the gradebook because our grade POC is still down so I'm like what do I do I may go ahead and start making plans for like the rest of the week that would probably be the smartest thing to do right now lunchtime update the morning has gone pretty smoothly we got through almost everything I wanted to get through a math not quite but that's okay I think we got through enough and then I'll have my block one for another 45 minutes after lunch so I think we should be good to go I am thoroughly enjoying seeing my students reactions to my hair because obviously they had no clue like I didn't tell them like oh yeah I'm gonna change my hair tomorrow nope they had no warning so it's been interesting some of the kids you know really really liked it and they've been very complimentary and I have a couple of kids who are very upset with me and they're like when are you changing it back when does it come out of your hair I'm like it does it like it's permanent and they're like well you need to change it back I I don't like this it's funny to see their different reactions but I like it and that's all that matters I'm going to sit and enjoy my lunch and then I'll catch up with you guys at the end of the day so we can access the curriculum but we cannot access our email or a gradebook or our attendance or anything else I have to keep this short because my camera is dying I did not charge it last night I'm horrible youtuber but is the end of the day I'm gonna quickly grade some like quick exit tickets that we did for science and I'm gonna get out of here go to the gym I have a little bit of lesson planning to do tonight but not to too much [Music] I don't have keys gel thank you good morning YouTube I am very very tired this morning it actually it started last night coming home from the gym I felt like I was falling asleep you need my dinner I felt like house fall asleep I got to bed at like 11:30 so somewhat earlier for like normal for me which wasn't terrible but I'm just exhausted slept through my alarm Zand saying gain up at 6 I didn't wake up until like 5 and at that point was like my soul sleep until 6:45 I am headed to school this morning I have a CD I'm meeting this morning and usually we only have them once a month but I think from now until the end of the school year they're pushing it like two times a month so every other week which is fine I guess but I need to get a couple of things ready for that and then I have team planning during my planning time so me and my other team teacher who teaches my science and social studies will meet together to kind of plan things out which we need to do desperately because of all the snow and the delays and the early dismissals it is really mess with her schedule and like we had everything planned out for the end of the marking period and now it's completely messed up because of all of those delays and whatnot so I need to do that I have a bunch of stuff graded that I want to put in the grade book but looking on our counties like Facebook page they don't estimate that it's gonna be back up until Friday so it's probably not gonna happen but I do have some coffee this morning that I'm going to enjoy on the way to work and then when I get to work because I desperately need it today I am all done with this EDM meeting this morning I have about 10 minutes until my kids come in so I'm gonna go ahead and like open up on my Google slides and everything just so I can figure out what I need to do during my planning time I don't have anything too grave so I guess I'm gonna just start working on like some more plans I'm actually planned pretty much for the rest of the week fingers crossed I think so which is good but I do need to look at like this SMART Notebook that I'm using in math today because I don't have SMART Notebook on my computer at home I could download it but my computer is already slow so I don't want to do that so I'm just gonna look at it quickly on the computer and then maybe start planning next week never mind that was really stupid what am I talking about during my playing time I still plan with the other math teacher so no I'm not gonna get plans done for next week for morning work this morning we had our students write a letter to like someone in the school or someone in the class and have someone else like deliver it so it was like a promise secret person you didn't know who it was from so I did have several students bringing notes which is really nice this is what is keeping me going today and just to update you guys I've changed some of my classroom management so this is class dojo before I had a separate class dojo for my homeroom my block one in my block too and I had team points so team one team two team three team 14 five and teams were able to earn points but honestly I wasn't that great about giving them out and I told them that that group would get to have a lunch bunch when they hit twenty five points well as you can tell like right now I have a team at seven and honestly like it would take probably until the rest of the year for someone to get to 25 points because I was only giving out points one at a time and it was just taking forever so I said you know what this isn't working it's not motivating my kids cuz no one has I think I've had one group get to 25 and have the reward so if they're not getting the reward like it's not gonna be motivating to them so I changed it I now have just one class dojo and it has my homeroom my black one and my black two and instead of doing group points which every time I change my seating chart I then have to restart the group points because the groups are different and it just wasn't effective so now they're gonna work together as a whole class so my homeroom together can earn points my block one together can earn points and my block two together can earn points so how I'm doing it is I'm just giving out literally one two three four or five points and I made this little flippity I will link this for you guys you're able to create like wheels and you can put them into groups if you had like student names obviously for this it's not effective I needed it just for the spinner but you're able to input your own like names or categories or whatever and then it turns into all of these different like Pickers random pickers which is really cool so I'll link this for you guys you can check it out but I made one with just one two three four five points so what will happen is if my homeroom for example at the end of the day if they all stack their chairs and there's no trash left on the floor I will spin the spinner and however many points they get I will go to their class dojo and give them at the point so like they got one I would give them one point so I'm going to try to hopefully be better about like doing this with my homeroom they can earn points with their morning work if they're all working hard on that they can earn points when they get into line to go to cultural arts they can earn points at the end of the day during dere time if they're all reading like they're supposed to be and then they can earn points at the end of the day with cleaning up their stuff and I'll do the same thing for my black one and my block too they'll have the opportunity to earn points as well like if they're all working I'll come up here I'll spin the spinner and I will give them that many points so I'm gonna try this out I'll keep you guys updated and let you know how it goes it is lunchtime and I feel like I've been really productive today in my classes like I feel like I'm actually getting through everything I have planned which does not always happen but for math in block one we were starting our next unit unit eight I got through the entire lesson and I was able to give them a check for understanding that I wanted to do yesterday but didn't get to so that is awesome and I will have that to grade after-school and then during social studies I was a little bit behind with my black one so I got them caught up and I'm almost done with the lesson for today which they'll come back to me for about 15-20 minutes after recess so I should be able to get that done and then I'm all on track with him which is awesome so I hope I can keep that up for the rest of the day I'm gonna sit and enjoy my lunch and it is actually my day to stay indoors for recess and finally after like two weeks of being inside for recess we actually get to go out because it is warm enough today it is above freezing so I will get to stay in a while the rest of my kids go out which I am so excited for so I'm all about that Velcro lately last week I showed you how I fell crowed my remote to the side of my document camera so that I have easy access to a and it doesn't take up a ton of room in my bucket and I went ahead and did the same with my wireless presenter so I got this off of Amazon it's like 20 dollars literally the best twenty dollars I ever spent I use this to click through my PowerPoint or my Google slides or whatever and it's super super convenient and again I was always like trying to dig for it in my bucket so now I have velcro and I can stick it right there to the side of my document camera for easy access it's after school it's about four o'clock and I'm actually up-to-date on all of my grading I did collect a couple of assignments I collected three assignments from black one and one assignment from block two but I already got those great and I was super productive today and like any spare second I had I was sitting there grading so those are all done and graded I just cannot put them into the gradebook yet because it's still down probably until Friday so I have until five o'clock when I need to leave to go to the gym to just work on whatever I want to work on so I'm gonna go ahead and just finalize my plans for tomorrow and Friday and maybe start planning for next week key word there is maybe it is now almost five o'clock I have my plans done for tomorrow and Friday although I need to make up notes tonight for my students of glue in their journals and I can't do that at school because of like my thoughts so I will make that up when I get home print it out and then I will be all done with my plans and actually I think I'm done for Monday as well which is awesome so I'm excited about that maybe tomorrow I can get some more things done for next week so that I'm not as like stressed out about it but overall I feel really good and I just remembered that we have a three-day weekend this upcoming weekend so it's really good we are off on Monday for Martin Luther King Day so I feel productive I don't have too much to do tonight which is good because I need to edit my training vlog still I got some of it edited last night but the problem is by the time I get up and go to school and I'm at work all day and then I go to the gym and I'm like running and I'm exercising and I get home I'm exhausted and I'm literally like falling asleep so it's a lot harder to edit two videos a week than I thought that it would be ideally I probably should have gotten the training blog edited over the weekend but that didn't happen because I was trying to enjoy my weekend and have downtime so I'm gonna have to figure out some kind of schedule that works for me but for now I need to get to the gym [Music] good morning YouTube did not I repeat did not want to get up this supporti my alarm went off at 6:00 I didn't roll out of bed until like 650 because I just mentally and physically just felt exhausted I was not ready to sir today I don't know what it is I guess just having all of those delays and early dismissals and cancellations like really threw off my schedule probably maybe I don't know but I'm just I've been really tired I was productive last night though I printed off the few things that I needed to print I wrote a thank-you letter for one of my students so I didn't tell you guys about this yesterday but I did post a picture of my Instagram so you may have already seen it my students keep asking me when I'm coming out with merchandise and I promise it's coming but like now that my training started I got way busier than I was expecting to be so it's just not ready yet but yesterday one of my girls showed up in a shirt that she hand drew my logo on I'll insert a picture like up over here it was literally the cutest thing I've ever seen in my entire life like oh my goodness my teacher heart was just so so full so I wrote her like just a little note to tell her how much I appreciated that like how cool is that my student took time at home and used a white t-shirt to hand her on my logo and like it was really good I also got some editing done I don't think this training vlog is gonna go up until Saturday so I guess it'll be like classroom vlog on Sunday and then training vlog on the following Saturday cuz I just cannot get it edited in like one or two nights after a full day of school and like after training and everything else I'm just tired and editing my videos literally takes hours like five to six hours per video because I'll end up having like four hours of footage and it's just a lot to go through so it is getting there it's almost all done but it's not quite done I am going with zero coffee today I did not even bring coffee from home because apparently I'm not very smart and forgot to pack it and now I'm already in the car so oh well I'm just going to go without it today but I will focus on drinking my water instead and I do have a Keurig in my room I don't know if the creamer that I have is good or not I don't know we'll figure it out if I need coffee I'll find a way to get some but I'm gonna go ahead to school and I'll catch up with you guys there [Music] I'm getting my copies ready for my ta to make this morning although the copiers down so who knows if they'll actually get made but I want to show you this I've shown you in previous vlogs that I was making up like notes pages for my students because trying to have them copy notes takes forever in a day so it's easier just to print them out have them glue them in their journal that way they have them not only for in class but at home when they're doing their homework and when they're trying to prepare for tests and quizzes so we are currently working on interpreting the remainder in division problem so I put a division problem up at the top 36 divided by 5 would equal 7 remainder 1 and then I put the labels of like what each part of the problem is called so the dividend the divisor the quotient and the remainder and then I put the three different kinds or the three different ways that we interpret remainders at least in fourth grade I know when they get into fifth grade they'll work on making it into a fraction and then in six or eight they work on making it into a decimal but for the sake of fourth grade they'll either drop the remainder and just the quotient is the answer they'll use the remainder as the answer and they drop the quotient or they will round up and they'll actually add one to the quotient so I kind of gave scenarios of like when they use each one and then I gave an example for this problem 36 divided by 5 equals 7 remainder 1 what the answer would be in that situation so hopefully my TA can make copies of these today so that my students have them for the next couple of lessons it is lunchtime the morning has gone pretty well we had study hall I did not have planning time today but I was able to get a lot of kids caught up on work I was able to get all of that work that they turned in great and so that's out of the way and I organized a little bit in my cabinet so maybe if I get time I will show you guys that later if not I'll show it to you tomorrow for science today we were doing a little activity with a virtual oscilloscope which basically shows waves and it translates like sound into the waves and it shows what they look like so my students were able to experiment with different sounds and see how it affected like the amplitude the wavelength all that good stuff only bad thing was like with our computer when we try the website it won't access our microphone and like because of the permissions on our computer we can't like let it access their microphone so I couldn't show them like an example but they got to mess around on the Chromebooks and do it so it's okay I think for the most part they all got it but it was just it would have been easier if I could have showed them and imple but it's okay I'm gonna sit and enjoy my lunch and then we are going outside for recess today because it's finally warming up I mentioned that I slightly changed my cabinet so I'll insert a little like before clip of kind of what it looked like before and then here is what I changed so I had bins that had extra paper and extra composition books but because those were so tall I couldn't put the lids on them so I had extra lids just like hanging out on the side and they were annoying me so I moved some things around I in this cabinet now just have the Forster lie pins one holding extra highlighters one holding extra pencils yes that entire bin is extra pencils teachers best friend this one down here are extra markers and then extra post-it notes and then over here I went ahead and just stacked up all of the extra paper and extra composition books down here up here is a whole bunch of like stem supplies and Legos and stuff like that that I haven't really been using but I hold on to just in case so this way the bottom part is just like all my extra supplies so that left me with some extra containers which I put in this cabinet so that bottom one has all of my tissues that have the plus lotion because I like to use those in the wintertime when everyone's like noses get dry so I like to keep them separate for my other tissues that's probably weird but I don't care and then up here in this plastic container there are some extra juice boxes that we had from the gingerbread house making so you know that you are really tired when you finally use the Keurig that you've had in your room to make some coffee because you're literally struggling to get through the day life update the day is now over afternoon but pretty smooth I am at the same point with my block 1 and block 2 which is always good because it makes my planning that much easier I have everything ready to go for tomorrow so tonight I can focus just on editing my blog you will notice I already changed for my run because I'm actually gonna leave like from the school building and go for my run that way I can be done and then meet Billy at the gym for a weight workout afterwards and then go home so I'm gonna go do all that and I'll catch up with you guys tomorrow morning [Music] good morning YouTube first of all happy Friday I am very very thankful that this Friday but I am still super tired and obviously my body needed sleep because I've been getting up at like anywhere between 6:00 6:15 lately I do not wake up like at all until 655 and Billie laughs at me every night when I set like 20 alarms but it's because I literally do not wake up to them so I didn't get out of bed until 7:00 I didn't do my hair like I've had it in a braid last night so I just ended it from the rain and brushed it and that was about it I did a little bit of makeup mostly cuz I'm a little bit stressed right now so I've got a blemish right there and I wanted to cover it I didn't eat breakfast at home I'm gonna eat when I get to school I don't know y'all I'm just like oh let me just say thank goodness it's Friday like one more day I can do it we have a three day weekend so that's really good but I am tired and yesterday was very much a struggle and I do not want today to be like that so I'm actually gonna go get some Dunkin Donuts coffee I decided I need to treat myself I haven't had Dunkin Donuts in like three weeks three weeks and it's a Friday and it's raining and I need to brighten my day a little bit so I'm gonna go get some coffee and then I'll catch up with you guys at school good morning can I get a medium iced coffee with the friends vanilla swirl and cream please fresh vanilla and cream only yes thank you so we finally got access again to our email which is great so we have access to our email our curriculum but we still do not have access to our gradebook all right I just took my students to music and I'm about to have a not a grading party but a grade entering party our gradebook which has been down since Sunday is finally back up and running so I have a huge stack of papers sitting in front of me they're all graded but I need to put them into the gradebook so all of these are about to get entered into my gradebook I'm going to try to get them all done during my planning time [Music] I survived until the end of the day and I have good news and bad news good news is the day actually went really really well I got through everything I wanted to get through I had an assignment for social studies that was gonna be graded and I got Block 1 and block 2 graded and put in the grade book so I'm like super proud of myself about that bad news is as I was walking back from dismissal I started getting an aura and it's literally right in the middle of like my line of vision which is really frustrating because I cannot see like I'm trying to read emails and I can't even do that because I literally can't see like in the middle of my field of vision and that means I'm getting a migraine which I'm also not excited about cuz that's the last thing that I want on a Friday night but I did just find out that I'm getting a new student on Monday actually we have two new students coming they're not related they just happen to enroll at the same time one to my homeroom and then one to one of my team teachers homerooms the one that's going to her homeroom is gonna be in my block one and then the other student has not been placed yet so we'll see about that if they do end up in my block - which we think may happen I will be up to thirty four students which is a lot but it's okay I've heard great things about both of the students the few people who have met them and like their family said they're extremely smart they're extremely respectful so I'm really excited about that and I will get to meet them on a Tuesday for right now I'm just gonna sit here and decide if I want to go for my run now or if I want to go for my run on the treadmill maybe try to answer some emails I don't have to grade so that's really good and I mostly have everything together for Tuesday so I will catch up with you guys like in a couple minutes when I sort out my life so when you're cleaning up your classroom at the end of the day and you walk over to your whiteboard and you notice the three of your kids wrote smiley faces on the board and you had no clue whatsoever I did go ahead and pull out my extra hand book and then meet the teacher letter I had prepped these at the beginning of the year for my students and I always hold on to a couple of extras in case I get new students throughout the year so since I'm getting a new student on Tuesday we do not have school on Monday but on Tuesday when I meet that students parents I'll be able to go ahead and give them this that way they have some information just about fourth grade and how we do things up front and can we just appreciate for a second I've got the Apple right here and then I have an Apple paper clip to match its little things people it is now 5:00 o'clock I'm going to get out of here and go to the gym good news is my aura is gone bad news is I can feel the migraine come but it has not hit fully yet so I'm gonna go to the gym and try to get my run in before it actually hits me I decided against running in the rain but I'm going to end this vlog here because that is the end of my school week obviously my fitness vlog will be continuing through Sunday but I hope you guys enjoyed this one it was a little bit of a crazy week with early dismissal and having delays and having I don't know I don't even remember I'm gonna have to wait till
