I really needed to be reminded of that....Thank you! I really needed to be reminded of that. I moved classrooms and have been stressing out over getting everything done for Thursday's Open House as I still have boxes and boxes that are unopened. I've decided to hide the clutter, finish my nametags and curriculum packet and call it good enough so I can enjoy my son's open house tonight without worrying that I should go back to school afterwards to finish up the details.<br /><br /><br />I'm mostly proud of my library also! Maybe the two daysI spent on it was going a bit overboard, but it looks pretty good, even though I still need to separate my chapter books into genres. Maybe some kids can do that later!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582454261491811472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508934567629537398.post-70349067136638087112011-08-30T06:44:01.960-04:002011-08-30T06:44:01.960-04:00Thanks for posting this.

So what if I had 20 math books handed in today and no names on 19 of them? We survived. I thank God I'm learning to be more laid back about some of this stuff, and meanwhile it's back to the grind, since I'd like to hit the sack sometime before midnight tonight!KarenKTeachCambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18360213423837201954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508934567629537398.post-66102407153751343082011-08-29T20:42:29.376-04:002011-08-29T20:42:29.376-04:00This is so true.

I spent 12 hours at school every day this week...I can't live like that forever! I've got to focus on the "need to do" and not the "want to do."<br /><br />Allison<br /><a href="http://awholebrainteacher.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">awholebrainteacher.blogspot.com</a>allisonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17816580369523546333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508934567629537398.post-993497479303959922011-08-27T00:55:13.701-04:002011-08-27T00:55:13.701-04:00Sally,

The excitement of a new teacher, new friendships, new classroom,and new year will be what your students see when they enter your classroom! I bet you have never heard "hey my supplies aren't labeled!" You offer more than perfect, a new beginning! Happy new school year!Gia Buckleynoreply@blogger.com
