To Do Lists...

Here I sit yet again with a zillion (okay maybe not a zillion but a whole lot) of things today and I am blogging and making fun stuff for my classroom and for me...

I was just sitting here thinking I needed a To Do list to help me stay focused & I remembered a great post by What the Teacher Wants where she posted a link to some great To Do Lists

My only issue is I'm a daily to do list person and both of the examples that I found in those posts were mostly for weekly to do lists. So I did some editing and made some daily ones for myself.

I haven't figured out how to post them yet...maybe someday but I thought I'd share the idea in case someone else needs them...have a great day!

Teacher Appreciation Week & Random Thoughts

It's funny because my school doesn't really do anything for teacher appreciation week. But I feel so appreciated by all the blogs I'm reading and other resources it's AMAZING!

I have been in my classroom since school go out getting ready for the crazyness that is our mother's day program and tea tomorrow. It's so much fun and the kids love showing off the stuff "they've" been doing for their parents :-)

It's getting to be that emotional part of the year where I'm mega stressed because of all that needs to get done before the end of the year and the fact that these kids are all so much more grown up than they were when we started, and now I have to send them on and hope they are prepared for what's next ... tear ... I have started and not finished at least 10 projects since school got out. When I get stressed I get scattered, I was putting away something and found stickers so I scrapbooked the front of my albums of my mother's day photos from this year and last year (the ones for me not them :-) *add pictures here later* and then I never got back to what I was doing before...lol...

Well after tomorrow is done hopefully I can calm down and relax, oh wait have I mentioned we are buying a house and are supposed to close on the 18th...so yeah no relaxing for me nevermind.

Anyway back to why I started this post, (ADD much, maybe that's why I relate to them so well) I have been cleaning up my room and remembered that I need to print out thank you gifts for my parent helpers this year, and that reminded me I need to find the link to the teacher appreciation gifts I want to give to my team at the end of the year. Which caused me to open my reader about an hour and a half ago...and needless to say I'm still here and my husband is wondering if I'm ever coming home...and I need to print out my plans for next week and find all the work...oh well it never ends so I may as well go home now and come back tomorrow cause it will all be here then too...hopefully I can post some pictures of our projects and stuff soon. It's all so cute, just gotta get the pictures out of my phone :-)

Have a goodnight, any maybe someday soon I'll start blogging something useful instead of always just talking...

Tucson Values Teacher Day :-)

Well it's been a busy week, as most of them are at this point in the school year. I'm so happy to be only a few short weeks away from something new.

Well back to the title of this post. Yesterday I had the privilege to attend a Teacher Day at the University of Arizona Campus. It was a great day, got to spend it with two of my favorite people, my parents :-). It was a really neat event, pretty much UofA opened up a lot of the museums and resources they have available for teachers for free so teachers could go check them out. I'm blogging from my phone so I'm not certain how to tag people however I would love to tag Office Max, UofA, TEP, Macaroni Kids, Wells Fargo, many others & most importantly Tucson Values Teachers and its founder Jacqueline Jackson for showing how much they Value teachers! Made my day, well made my week for that matter :-)

Thanks for a great day if your reading this.

Be back to blog more later, have a blessed Sunday!
