March Madness!

We definitely started off the month very busy and crazy with our off scheduling. Tuesday was a delay due to the weather so Suzanne and I decided we were just going to keep our homeroom the whole day. Friday, we started Robotics in the Robotics lab and we were scheduled to have our field day but unfortunately, the business canceled on us late Thursday. (I placed a note in their daily folders explaining a little bit more about the situation.) Breaking the sad news to 20 students was not an easy task especially when I hyped them up for it the day prior and they came dressed and ready to participate.

 

In the Robotics lab, the students learned how to make their color wheel spin on their motor. From now on about 5 weeks or so, we will have Robotics every Friday.

 

Happy Classified Teachers Appreciation Week! I have a TA (teacher assistant) that comes in and supports a few students every day. Not only was it her birthday on Thursday, but it’s also classified teachers appreciation week so the children made her sweet cards and I bought her some flowers and a balloon to show her how much we appreciate her in my classroom. The kids totally adore her and are always so curious where she is whenever she is unable to come in. She had to help assist benchmark testing this week and so for four days straight, they asked me where she was. Before I became a classroom teacher, I was a TA with Mrs. Wood last year and she was totally awesome to work with. She even has her own Vietnamese name that the kids call her! When I call her by Mrs. Wood, they get confused and ask me who Mrs. Wood is since they're so used to calling her Cô Lâm.

 

 

Silly Quote of the Week:

I hope everyone has a fun and safe Spring Break wherever you are!!! :)
