CELEBRATE!

I have been told by Ashley that I'm slipping as a blogger... Unfortunately, I just haven't had much to talk about!

Today was my class's final day of ISAT testing! Woo Hoo! The kids have really been pretending to work hard. We will see how hard they really worked some time this summer. The week has actually been really boring because it has been TOO quiet. I know, is there such a thing as too quiet while working in a building with 300 kids? YES!

The students took 2 tests a day starting Monday. I made the mistake of getting all my grades caught up on Sunday. What was I thinking? Since I didn't have papers to grade I decided to organize my filing cabinets. I still had some useless things in my files from the previous teacher. I also started reading the third Diary of a Wimpy Kid book. I love that series. I think the kids thought it was funny that I was actually sitting there reading the book which is a 5th grade reading level. I got a lot of thumbs ups because it is definitely the "cool" book to be reading right now at our school. I'm trying to hurry up and finish because I know that it would give Alex something to do on the car ride to Florida.

Tomorrow we are having an ISAT party to celebrate being done. It's only appropriate because all we have done this week is eat yummy snacks and test. I told them we could have a party if we had perfect attendance Monday-Thursday because then we wouldn't have to worry about make up tests. Kids are great with challenges.... not one of them was absent all week! I am going to make the kids nachos for an after lunch snack and we are going to watch Akeelah and the Bee. It should be a good way to end a very stressful week. Toby Tucker is also coming to my class tomorrow because I won the Cookie Monster contest on 95Q. He is bringing my class Girl Scout cookies and milk. Yummmmmy! I will have to do my wii fit after all the nachos and cookies!
