Five Minutes in a Teacher's Head
I need to plan centers. What should I plan? I should look on Pinterest. Did I order laminating pouches? I have a MASSIVE amount of laminating to do. I have a mound of cutting out I need to do. I need to call Johnny's parents to set up a conference. That's not going to be fun. I better get a good end of the year gift from them. This calls for a stiff drink tonight. My guided reading plans need to be beefed up. Wonder what all those super star teachers do?? I am going to bloghop and find out. I forgot to put my Science grades into gradespeed. I should plan a field trip. Oh wait, out district won't allow us to take field trips during testing. I HATE testing. I wish I could just TEACH! No wonder my kids behavior hasn't been that great. I have been sitting over at a table testing one kid at a time. Why do we test all the time anyway? It's a bunch of data we don't do anything with. What does it prove? Why am I being evaluated on my students scores?? That is really dumb. I need to get more words up on my word wall. I need to post my standards. I need to get my students work up on the wall. I have to send home all my kids work. I need to print out a new calendar. I really should drink more water. Oh I can't, that would make me have to pee. I can't pee during the school day. I should buy more clip art. And fonts. I love fonts. And units. And centers. My hubby put me on a tPt freeze this month. Have I made any money?? My kids love my stations. It's all worth it. I need to laminate. I need to be cutting stuff out. I wish I could get my classroom library organized. OH! I should buy bins! I love bins! Target has bins. And that Dollar Spot. And colorful pens. I love colorful pens. Maybe colorful pens will help with my lesson planning! EEK! I haven't had anytime to plan! I need to get on Pinterest. I love Pinterest. I need to differentiate. Sarah is too smart, I need to meet her needs. I need time to meet with just her. How?? I have all these kids below benchmark. Where does the time go? Did I eat lunch today? I am tired. Have I had any planning time this week? NO! I have been in meeting after meeting after meeting. That is SO annoying. None of these meetings help me with TEACHING. I wish I could just TEACH! I wish Eric would stop blurting out. Maybe I should make a "Blurt Chart" like I have seen on Pinterest. Oh I love Pinterest. I love Post Its. I need Post Its. Target has Post Its! I should make a list. I have got to get started on my report cards. Do my parents even LOOK at the report cards? Do they even understand them? Maybe I should do a workshop on how to understand the report cards. I wonder if people would come. I could provide snacks. If you provide snacks they will come. I will look on Pinterest. I bet my team would help. I wish we had funding for the workshop. What's another $10? Will my husband speak to me if I plan this? That's ANOTHER night away from home and money out of our pocket. We need a date night. I'm tired. So tired. Poor little Sam seems to be really tired lately. I should contact his parents to see what time he goes to bed. I need to add that to my list. I need a list. Why does my list keep getting longer? I feel overwhelmed and unorganized. I should look on Pinterest for organizing ideas.......
