Work Day #12 and #13

Hello Y'all,

I went to school yesterday and worked in my classroom.  I had my little love with me so I did not get as much completed as I had planned, but I did get the rest of my clips strung from the ceiling, an alphabet chart hung, some books on tape sorted through, and that's about it.  We only stayed a couple of hours so not a whole lot accomplished.

I went today as well.  Mr. Hubs and Little Love went with me; Mr. Hubs had just got off work and had not slept since 4:00 p.m. yesterday so he was very tired.  He tried to keep Little Love occupied while I worked, but it was difficult for him.

Today, I accomplished:

1. putting up an abbreviated calendar wall.  (This took most of my time today.) Most of my calendar is done using the Promethean Board.  I still have several reference items such as--a physical calendar; a date board; days attending and days left straw pockets; yesterday, today, tomorrow cards; a 100s chart; a month chart; a clock (working analog clock); and a few other math reference charts/cards.  Most of the actual recording items are completed on the Promethean.
2. cleaning off a second table, which Little Love totally covered in stuff that was interesting to her...so there will be some clean up needed the next time I'm in my room alone.
3. hung my clock.  (So happy about this as I had to keep running to the computer to see the time every time I worked in there!)
4. hung a pocket chart that is used for review using a game show format.
5. finished going through my books on tape.
6. emptied next to last box in the room.  It was full of miscellaneous items.  The other box is full of my CDs and cassettes.  Most of my CDs have been ripped to my thumb drive so I don't have to keep hunting for a song.
7. emptied three tubs (two large, one small) of math manipulatives.  Some were kept, others left for whoever needed them.
8. linked unifix cubes in groups of 10 cubes of same color and then 10 groups of 10 different colors so 100 cubes altogether in a baggy.
9. sorted a clock partner matching game. It had enough sets for 10 groups of partners.
10. played with Little Love whenever she would get bored of Mr. Hubs falling asleep in his chair.

Overall, it was a productive day.  I still have a bunch of things to do, but not near as much as I did when I started!

Well, it is late and we are going to surprise my mother-in-law tomorrow by showing up with Little Love to wish her Happy 54th Birthday!  She will love it.  It is a three hour drive, but will so be worth it to see how happy she will be!  We love you Nanny!  Happy Birthday!

Well, night all!

Mrs. Hall
