My mom came in last weekend for an extended visit! She has several grandkids in town and is thinking of moving here. Happy to have her near and have had a great week helping her get situated.
Formal evaluation time at my school! I feel like it went really well. My students were on their best behavior and hit the learning targets out of the park. I also learned a few things that will help me improve my teaching. Beefing up my teaching portfolio was a lot of work, but made me feel accomplished. So lucky to work where I work.
I got some of my pottery back from the bisque fire. I am still a beginner, but these turned out amazing! Can't wait to glaze them.

Having a hobby outside of teaching has been great for me. I put so much in at school, that having a creative outlet just for fun is necessary.
Pajamas and a movie night! Watching the intern. Have you seen it? Make sure you have tissues near. Made me cry.
Reviewed my list of 40 things to do in the year I turn 40. I have already completed 11! So fun. Looking forward to #'s 11, 12, and 13 over Spring Break. Don't be jealous! I have been penny pinching for quite a while. 2 weeks on the other side of the world here I come.
Have a great weekend everyone!
We just had one our informal evaluations at school this past week and I almost died when my principal walked in during snack, but it turned out alright. :)

That always happens! Or when they walk in and you are having tech problems...Ugh. Good thing they are people too!
DeleteI love the idea of creating a list of things to do throughout the year you turn 40! Super cool!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! My students loved it too. We shared a few that we had accomplished recently. They are working as hard as I am.
DeleteYour pottery is beautiful. Such a cool hobby!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am officially addicted! If I didn't have such a busy life I would be at the pottery studio every day.

ReplyDeleteYour pottery looks great! I'm not that ambitious, but I have been crocheting a blanket. I'm not very good at it, and there it definitely isn't perfect. It's relaxing though. I was able to get both of my formal observations done before Christmas. My principal's wife was expecting a baby, so he wanted to do as much as he could before then! Have a great week.
