weekend catch-up

I had a long week last week and by Friday I was absolutely exhausted.  Because of that, I want to focus my Friday blog on wrapping up my week and getting caught up this weekend.  I thought taking some days off while I was sick would have been helpful last week, it wasn't.  I came back to school Wednesday feeling out of touch with my kids and cooperating teacher.   I left school Friday feeling completely drained.   That being said, I took Friday night to just relax.  I enjoyed a dinner with the family and then hung out with some close friends and kicked back on the couch to watch some TV. 

I spent the rest of the weekend getting lesson plans together and Promethean boards made.  I plan to go into this week being over prepared- my teacher has requested my lesson plans an additional week in advance, so I am working to get that all squared away.   Overall, I needed to take the weekend to get motivated and organized and I took the opportunity to get ahead.  I am looking forward to the week to come.

  1. I hope the weekend was as productive as you needed it to be, and that now you're feeling more prepared to start the week. It's going to be a lot better than last week, I'm sure!
