Friday at dismissal, the 4th grade teacher looked at me and went, "it doesn't feel like parent teacher conferences were 4 days ago..." - he was right! This was one busy and exciting week!!
I had a very lazy Sunday, just puttering, shopping, saw 12 Years a Slave (go see it!), and geared up for this amazing week that was.
Monday was indeed, conference day. I survived! The parents are happy, the kids are happy, I am happy!
The rest of the week was all about "Thanksgivukkah" - on Thursday, as a school we traveled to Plymouth Plantation and the Mayflower where we explored, sang the Thanksgivukkah song, and lots of other awesome-ness that I will share tomorrow. Oh and I was filmed for a PBS feature on Thanksgivukkah (more tomorrow!)
By Friday, I was dead to the world! This was one fun week, for sure!
Highligh of the week: a relaxing massage at the end of a fun, but hectic, week! Nothing says Friday afternoon like having the stress kneaded out of you!
Favorite teaching moment: my class being rockstars on Thursday as PBS filmed out class and lesson. They acted as though there wasn't a camera or boom mike in their faces and were AMAZING (have I mentioned my class rocks?)
Random-osity: I have 4 colored pens that the kids know they may not touch. I use them to mark their papers, mark up my plan book, and write notes to myself. Controlling, me? Never!

Wonderful! I love it when everyone is happy. :) We just finished a unit study on Plymouth. So wish we could go to the Plantation with you. Instead we are planning a big thanksgiving feast this weekend. Should be fun! and i hope to get some awesome photos.
It is always a delight to read your adventures for the week. I have wrote down this movie and hope to see it soon. I watched a documentary called "Babies"...have you seen it? Rented it from the library. SOO good. They document 4 different babies from around the world for two years...just amazing the difference in the cultures.
that is so fun that you were filmed for pbs. I hope I get to see it! I liked your picture too. :)
Love seeing what yo have been up to each week :) Have an awesome week my friend!
Now I have massage envy. hahahaha, that is actually a place here (perhaps a chain) called 'Massage Envy' hahahaha.
All your photographs are awesome.
Can't wait to see the PBS special!
Such a fun week! The PBS filming is so awesome and so is that massage! I would be so happy with one right now!
ohhh... we had massages too! yep, felt great to get rid of the knot between my shoulder blades! so excited to be posting again! "thank-ful" you choose to host P52!
pssttt! I know what you mean about not letting anyone use your favorite pens! I'm the same way! and I feel that way about my sewing scissors...
Great diptics that represent your week well. Love the fall feel to them.
