Spring break, now over. I nearly laid in the bed all day (well, until 11:30). Then did some blog-stalking-pretending-I-was-planning-procrastinating. I watched an episode of undercover boss and cried when the boss gave a kid a full-ride to college so that he wouldn't have to work and go to school at night. Wow! If only everyone felt as grateful as this kid to be getting his education paid for. As happy as he was, I cried because I knew he was getting an opportunity for higher education that he wouldn't have otherwise. {Did you know I'm a softy?} I finally talked myself into a run-jog, walk-around-and-look-at-the-birds around 5. Now I sit here needing a shower, needing to pack my lunch, needing to pick out tomorrow's outfit, and needing to finalize my plans for the week so that I can link up with Mrs. Wills' Kindergarten blog for her AWESOME Peek at My Week linky.
Don't get me wrong, I am excited about our upcoming quarter, but I always get a little paper-bag hyperventilating when it feels like we are starting so many new things at once. I know I will be fine by Tuesday, and seriously, I am planned-and-ready for tomorrow, so calm down!
If you take a close look at my plan...you.will.find.some.holes. Seriously, I am a 3-day planner. I want to see how things go and then re-organize. I have some ideas in my mind (usually) but I wait to make final decisions on what comes next based on what my kiddies do. So, don't-judge, please :)
If you click on the images above, it will take you to a google doc where you can click on the hyperlinked plans. (Can't figure out why the google doc does not allow you to click on hyperlinks, but if you download, you can get them that way).
I made these plans in word and converted them to a PDF. Then, I watched Deedee's video about how she makes her visual lessons and she does it in powerpoint. You know I love to make stuff in powerpoint over word but I thought word would be easier for these lesson plans...I might be converting over to powerpoint next week! If you haven't hopped over to see Deedee, you definitely want to check out her blog and the other bloggers that are giving a "Peek" at their week.
We seriously need to be blogging buds! Seriously, you and I. I am loving your blog and am your newest follow! I'm off to stock your blog more :) Good luck tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm a 3 day planner too.

Tina, thanks for stopping by! Your comment made my day. Totally. Yes. Let's be blogging buds! I'm headed over to check out your blog to learn more about you :) Glad you enjoyed this post.
DeleteMy kids and I have been doing the human body this year too. It's been so fun.
ReplyDeleteHi Mrs. thanks for stopping by! I have totally linked up to your blog in my Human Body post. It does look like your children are having fun learning about the human body systems. I'm trying to think about how I can incorporate them more throughout the year next year, rather than all at once. Come to think of it, it could be the theme of our opinion based essays next year. This year, our topics were a little random/off of our standards, but making it about human body systems next year would make it totally integrated.
