busy bees, er butterflies

Wow! I cannot even believe the last two weeks that we have had. Last week we tested the bejesus out of these little brains. They did a unit test in reading, a benchmark assessment in reading, spelling tests, math quiz, ule screening, and on and on. They did so well though. This week has been crazy because of no school on Monday and then we went to the Butterfly House yesterday afternoon. It was an awesome time! I was a little worried about our kids and their behavior (I am sure every teacher worries about that with field trips) but they were great! We had a very good afternoon.
However, with our new reading series every day is laid out for each week. It makes it very difficult if we have no school on one day to accomodate and get everything in. It is just one of the thousands of decisions I am getting used to making on a daily basis.
Since my cooperating teacher is so crazy organized, I had been prepared in advance and keeping up. However that long weekend got me a little too relaxed and I do not seem to have anything ready to go for next week yet. Looks like it will be a late night at school.
