meet my expectations! they may be high, but they'll make you better!

well, maybe it was too much to expect all of my kids to be able to finish a project in a week (even with time in class for computer research and time to create a plan and pull together a presentation). welcome to 4th grade little ones, welcome to the 2nd week of 4th grade, i have high expectations....don't let me down-not an option.

so, inspired by another teacher at my school, i am excited to be keeping track of my time card each week (clock in/clock out) to show the hours worked every day. a measure of "really? do-we-need-t-o-have-this-conversation?" so today i will have a total of 10 hours..and i left earlier than normal. hmm. dear district, i just want you to know that even after i put in the extra time here, i go home and put in even more time.

i did have a favorable moment today at school-my smart board is now hooked up and my airliner is ready to go-time to get into some technology love! the kids will be happy.

my friends are all having babies! amy sent out the cutest little shower invite-love!

i'll have to remember this for the next time i have a baby...hmm. never(for now)

i think i included a similar picture in an older post when i was at mom and dad's-i just wanted to add this one b/c it makes me laugh when he sprawls out like this whenever the moment arises.

he makes me laugh!

oh tomorrow, please drift by like a dream-i already need another weekend!
