A Day In My Life and a Freebie!

I am linking up with Katie at Adventures of a 6th grade Teacher to tell you all about a typical school day for me. 

 

5:45 - Alarm goes off on my phone...fumble until I hit snooze. Hit snooze about 5 more times. Really need to get back to my getting up and working out before school...can someone send me some motivation?

6:15 - Finally get up. Get in shower.

6:35 - Iron clothes (that I usually have set out, but didn't iron)

6:40 - Turn on coffee, fill water jug (I drink A LOT of water)

6:45 - Dry hair (this takes forever because it's way too long!), put on makeup, get dressed, get breakfast ready, kiss hubby bye, leave

7:10 - Go back in to get phone/jump drive/whatever I left

7:20 - Arrive at school. Put out morning work, scramble to get things ready, go make copies, etc.  

7:50 - Go get kids from lab

7:55 - Kids do morning work, I check folders, email, post attendance (if I remember)

8:10 - Morning Meeting: calendar, daily news, calendar songs

8:30 - Reading/Language Arts Block starts with whole group lesson/activity

9:15 - Start Workshops (literacy centers)...pull guided reading groups while other groups work on centers related to what they're working on in small group

10:45 - Come back to whole group - sing song

10:50 - Snack: Kids listen to HeidiSongs sight word CDs in hopes some of the 110 words we have will sink in

11:10 - Take kids to P.E. (they stay 40 min. then Coach takes them to wheel class) Go make copies, print centers/games on office computer, go to Deeanna's room to talk/plan/eat M&Ms

12:30 - Pick kids up from wheel class (Yes, we have 80 min. planning) Go back to room, play missing number math game, count to 100, count by 10s

12:40 - Lunch: Stay with kids, try to eat lunch while standing up while kids discuss who will get to take my trash

1:15 - Math Lesson/Math Centers

2:15 - Science/S.S./Art/Play centers if we have time

2:45 - Car riders leave

2:55 - 1st load bus riders leave

3:05 - Take 2nd load bus riders to bus...stay for bus duty

3:15-4:00 - Try to get ready for tomorrow, see what everyone forgot to take home, load bag with stuff to cut/make/etc.

Not too exciting, but that's it :)

Now here's a little Valentine's freebie for you. I'm *trying* to get my Valentine's Pack finished before the end of the week, but here's a little real/nonsense word center for you. Just click on the picture to get it. Let me know if you're able to use it....have a great day off or back at school (why isn't everyone off today?)
