Just a quick side note, my plan book has been found after being gone for two weeks!
I decided, after desperately trying to plan without my book, to ask the kids to look in their baskets for my book.
When I showed an example of what it looked like, one of the boys says, I know exactly where that is. He proceed to go behind the kidney table, go into one of the bins and pull it out. Apparently, during indoor lunch recess, the kids cleared off the table to play and put the book in the bin. I never would of looked there.
I feel much better now!

I Have to Go There :)
Ok, warning, not for the sick of stomach....
I come back from lunch today, was just about to walk in the classroom, when I notice that the teacher next door is ushering her kids out into the hall. So I kind of stood there for a sec to see what was going on, the teacher was still in the room.
The 2nd graders eagerly told me someone threw up.
So I ask did the girl go down to the nurse?
The teacher comes out and says no she is still being sick in the room.
So, next thing I know the teacher starts gagging and her face turns red! It was all too comical.
I said, "Take your kids away, I will take the girl down to the office."
I walk into the room to see the little girl just standing over the linoleum in front of the classroom sink, and below her is what was leftover of her lunch, hotdog chunks! I told you think was not going to be pretty. Grabbed the garbage can and the girl and walked her to the office, free of more throw up. Although the teacher calls down the hallway to the girl, "Did you have Cheetos for lunch today?" (Trying to figure out what made her sick)
I relplied back, nope it was only hotdog!
I told the girl, "That hotdog just did not like living in your stomach, he wanted out." She gave me a smile.
I get to the nurse, get the girl seated, tell her there is the bathroom in case you are sick again.
The nurse was out, so I tell the secretary, who then tells me the custodian is out to lunch and can't clean up the mess right now.
I lost it, laughing so hard, not if front of the girl.
I said there is no way the teacher is going to go back into her room, it was hotdog chunks!
Needless to say, the teacher stayed out of her room for over a half hour until it could be picked up and the little girl promptly went home.
Ahhh, just another day as a teacher :) After freezing all day, I needed a laugh like this one!

Frozen Teacher
Today was one of those days again, started off crying (me) because my classroom was 55 degrees when I first walked in, about an hour before the kids come. No one cares and I was sooo frustrated and sick and tired being frozen all day long. The district has decided to make budget cuts and heat is one of them. The heat now goes off at 2:28 pm each day (which is a two whole minutes before the students leave.) Then it doesn't go back on until 7:30 in the morning. Now if you want to come in early in the morning to get work done, you have to sit in 50 degree temps, try being productive in that!
On a side note, it takes A LOT for me to cry, I have to reach really high level of desperation and frustration before I cry, so you can imagine how being a frozen teacher all day has taken its toll on me!

Missing: Plan Book!
I need to post an APB! I LOST my plan book!!!!! YIKES!!!!! I have looked everywhere and it's no where to be found. OK, good news is that I am very structured and have a routine, so I know what I do everyday regardless of writing it down, but still its my plan book, a place to put down my thoughts. I don't care if I only open it once a week, I need my plan book. I have retraced my steps, I know I had it last week Wednesday for planning time, then I think the last time I saw it was a week ago, Friday, during our meeting. I hope it shows up sometime soon!
Today's Valentine's Day Party was pretty good. Get this... no parents came! Which was pretty nice, I enjoy most of my parents, but not having them took off some pressure in a way. I let the kids plan what they wanted to to, they chose dance party. So our afternoon consisted of passing out valentines and then dancing to Hannah Montana, Jonas Brothers, and those other Disney singers that I can't even begin to remember. They had a good time, I sent them off right in time for that massive sugar high! HA HA HA poor parents had to deal with that!

One of those days...
Do you ever have one of those days? You know the ones where you have an annoying headache that is not going away! I know I am not alone on this one! I woke up about 5 this morning, had a headache, took something, went back to bed, woke up felt ok, drove to school and headache came back on the way.
It wasn't one of those I'm going to rip my brains out headache, but just a dull, nagging, my eyes hurt, sinus pain. One of those where you can't search for the right words when trying to talk and you blank out and then laugh because you have no idea what word you are looking for!
Luckily the kids had specials all morning, so I turned the lights off in the classroom and worked by the light of my Japanese hanging lamp over my desk (which gives a nice soft light, love IT!)
So the kids come back and I just said, listen kids, your poor teacher has a headache, please take care of me, no yelling or shouting out. So right before lunch I sat down at my desk, at a time I am normally not at my desk, and one of my dear sweet boys, said, "You guys Miss M is really tired." The kind thing gives me a sympathetic look, it was all too endearing for him to care.
The headache went away during lunchtime, but left me drained and exhausted the rest of the day. I hate days like today.
