This is the only thing I will say: Valentine's Day at school can be CRAZY! I had all of these lofty ideas about what I wanted to do. I did some, but fussed all day long. I'm sure my kiddos were like, "Chill, lady."
I did get a chance to do this fabulous math activity with them from Amber at Adventures of a Third Grade Teacher.
I saw this from her this morning and threw that in, too. We both saw it on Hope's blog, 2nd Grade Shenanigans. {Love that name, BTW} I figured out how to download Amber's word document to my Google Doc at the last minute that I could retrieve at school...as I can't get to any blogs at school because they are blocked {ARGH}. I downloaded it from my iPhone to Google. I can open Google...so Voila!

I actually enjoyed this quite a bit. Make sure you head over to both blogs and check them out if you haven't already. They rock!
The stories my kids came up with are pretty funny. Sadly, I was too exhausted to snap any pictures before leaving school. I'll post that later.
I was feeling rather sorry for myself...and then I came home to the best Valentine's Day present
in
the
whole
wide
world:
A CLEAN HOUSE!! My husband SO rocks.
He's still cleaning as I write this blog. How lucky am I?
OK, enough. Tomorrow {or at least later this week}, I promise to blog about something where I don't complain and also give you a freebie of my own.
Happy Valentine's Day!
Complain away! It makes me feel better to know I'm not the only one! :-) Have a great night! Happy Valentine's Day!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out! When my kids did the Candy Heart Math Activity I wanted to pull my hair out!! I had some kids who could not remember how to subtract 2 digits. Seriously? haha
ReplyDeleteI agree with Valentine's being craaaazy. I love my kids but I wish it was the weekend now. :)

I'd have to say that I'm a lucky gal with Mr. Clean for a hubby as well.
ReplyDeleteAlso complaining- that is SOOO not bad. I get mine out all at school and then again on my 40 minute drive home each evening! It is not healthy to NOT vent! It also is just WAY too fun.
wah-la = viola....it's true. It is French.(Although there should be a little tilda above the A) :-) Secondly...thanks for such a great blog, I really love to ready your posts.I teach 5th grade and I still find so much to use or interpret. Thanks.
