Brrrr.....

This was definitely an odd week! Due to the weather, we had off of school more than we were in school! Monday brought a lot of snow (I believe the measurements were around a foot), so that called for a snow day. It was such a sure thing that school was canceled already on Sunday. That time on Monday allowed me to catch up on some grading as well as get a quiz made for the 8th graders. I would like to say that Tuesday was business as usual, but there was an impending Polar Vortex that would be settling into our area on Tuesday night, so by lunchtime school had already been called off for yesterday and today. Needless to say, that definitely gave the students something else to think about other than what we had going on in class, but we made it work! I can't say they were too disappointed that the quiz scheduled for Wednesday was now postponed until tomorrow :-)
Well, since I've had the last couple of days at home, that gave me more time to catch up on some things (although to be perfectly honest, I didn't get as much done as I could have). My daughter and I had some quality time together doing random activities, and the extreme cold gave me a chance to have a little science fun outside!
I've been wanting to try that for a while, so this was the perfect opportunity!
Well, tomorrow we are back at it, and I'm sure the students will be thrilled!
Mindfulness thought for the week: I'm afraid I don't have one to share this week--the weather didn't really give me the chance!

What Day is It?

 Did you ever have one of those weeks where every day kind of bleeds into the next, and by the end of the week you have a hard time remembering what you did on certain days prior? That's how I'm feeling right now. I would say that the main reason for this is that I'm sitting in an empty classroom every day. Even though the students are at home, teachers are allowed to work in their classrooms (assuming that they don't have any illnesses or have been contact-traced). We do have the option to work from home, but I felt that I would get more accomplished at school (fewer distractions :-) Now that the assignments are starting to roll in, it has definitely been helpful to have the quiet time at school to manage grading and identifying what is missing. However, I would much rather have a classroom bustling with activity (as most teachers would). So, even though I couldn't fully remember what happened on what day, looking back at my lesson notes has helped, and it was a pr...

An Epic Fail (and a Recovery)

So, I usually post my blog on Thursday nights (sorry this one was late, but I was REALLY tired last night), so with all things considered (with teaching in the world of COVID), my post for last Thursday made it seem like the first week of school wasn't too bad. Then Friday came. And it was time for my science lesson (not that I'm actually into my science content yet--we are still working on launching procedures with the students). If things could go wrong with my science time on Friday, they did. It was an EPIC fail.  My focus for launching procedures with the 5th graders has been centered around using Canvas, our online learning platform. On Friday, my lesson was about showing the students the different ways that they could submit an assignment in Canvas. My hope was to show a short video over the Google Meet that we had going so that we could use it as a jumping-off point to discuss procedures. Well, the volume levels in the different classrooms didn't really jive well wi...

Just breathe...

I'll be honest, today was a tiresome day. My students seemed more amped up than usual. So I tried something today that I haven't been able to do with my class in awhile--mindful breathing. I had attempted it several times last year with my class, but I had several boys who seemed to make it their mission to get their classmates to laugh during our mindful breathing sessions. So after some reflecting, I decided it was best to not offer them an audience. But this is a new year, and a new group of students, and I don't really have those attention seeking entertainers, so I thought it was worth a shot. In my daily schedule, we have a TRIBES/Mindfulness time to allow for community building opportunities and moments of reflection. This time period is right after recess, so I figured some mindful breathing might be good for them to cool down a little. When the students came in from recess, I put on some music from the Nature Sounds channel on Pandora. I let that softly play...
