X-mas draws near!
Well, it's been a whirlwind of a week. Monday I met with a group of women to plan for the taping next week, all of whom were very nice and constructive after their observation. My students are nearly numb now to all the observers that pass through our doors.
We just found out Monday that our 5th graders are responsible for one performance next Thursday and we've been frantically spending our afternoons preparing the kids for their "big moment" on stage. lol, this should be interesting, 90 students on stage at once, attempting a "sounds of the holidays" performance. It could be utter chaos...we shall see.
Tuesday was filled with more meetings and the annual Disneyland X-mas party. We did lots of eating and some riding. Hehe, we actually got my mom on Pirates and Indy, she was screaming the whole way =). While I got home very late and we were a tad wet, it was good fun.
Yesterday is over and I'm so relieved =). We had a myriad of visitors in our room yesterday afternoon, all people that could quite easily take away my job *gulp*. The superintendant, the assistant superintendant, my principal, the president of the Developmental Studies Center, and 2 coordinators came to watch my kids in action. Our meeting went well overall but a jokester at the open of our meeting proved that they're normal 5th graders. We talked about teasing and how it affects our school community and the students really shared their feelings. I debriefed with the observation group (which was even more intimidating!) and breathed a big sigh of relief when they left walking down the hall.
Pam was scheduled to observe me this morning for my formal write up, but informed me that I was "crazy" and she was going to write up one of the few visits she's already made to my room. That was probably the best news all week =).
We had a baby shower for the custodian today, it was nice, I think he really appreciated it =). Lots more good times and crazy stunts to come =). Hooray for Fridays, I'll be glad when the next one comes, then I can close my eyes and sleep until X-mas, well, just about until then =).
