 Happy Thursday. I am on my way to work. I'm going to my new school and I'm gonna work with one of my teammates we're gonna plan today. I think we're planning on finishing up ELA plans which is great. We're planning for the entire school year so basically what we're doing is we're looking at standards deciding which ones need to be taught when and kind of just moving them around when how long do we think we'll need to teach each standard and obviously if things change throughout the year we're going to change it up but for now this is just we're just kind of creating a curriculum map and just really diving into when we're teaching what. My teammates are the people that I've worked with in the past so I'm like coming into this little niche this kind of like you know family that I used to be in and just rejoining how they do things so every week they take turns bringing lunch for the team and so last week in the week before they provided lunch for me so this week I'm providing lunch for us and I brought sushi from fries which I have been on like a serious sushi kick I don't know what it is but I've been wanting sushi like every single day no I'm not pregnant I promise and so I brought sushi and then I also grabbed some salt and vinegar chips I love those and some flavor blasted goldfish I love those so I'm just on my way to Dunkin Donuts I'm gonna stop by there and grab a coffee and probably a bagel with cream cheese and and then I'll be on my way so I'm wearing my teacher all day every day t-shirt from lipstick and littles and I love how this looks together like the teal with the black I think it's so cute also I showed you guys in my last blog my nails I love them when I went to the nail salon I told the guy that I wanted thin acrylics because that's what these are their acrylics and he was like oh I got you and they're like perfect they're exactly what I wanted so my plan is to grow out my nails and then start doing the dip stuff for you like I think it's called SNS or something I don't know but I'm hoping I can grow them out a little bit get a large vanilla iced coffee cream please okay and can I also grab a can I get a bacon egg and cheese croissant please hey guys so I'm here and I am in my classroom and I just walked into they had moved all of the furniture this way a little bit because they're gonna be replacing some of the wall panels as you can see some of them are pretty damaged and so these are actually bulletin board walls so they're gonna be replacing all of these panels and then they're actually gonna take this wooden piece two of them and they're going to put them on this wall for me because I'm planning on hanging backpack hooks along this wall we do have cubbies here but the cubbies are awfully small and because I'm doing flexible seating there's no way we're gonna be able to fit a binder a book bin and a backpack in these cubbies so we are an avid school so each kid does have a binder and then I'm also gonna do book bins for library books supplies things like that so yeah this is the room it's way bigger than my other room I think and it in it did come with this table it comes with this table and it comes with a round table but I don't know where they put the round table they better not have taken it out I'm gonna be mad oh it's over there okay so the round tables there they're gonna get rid of all the desks for me hopefully fingers crossed and then I think I'm gonna keep a couple chairs because sometimes kids do like sitting in chairs at tables but cabinets are still full of stuff full of supplies so you have extra binders and then there's all this color this is cardstock paper this is not just normal paper and this is cardstock and then some other things that I'll probably get rid of but I also have drawers so I can put things in drawers I have this big cabinet these two these two and then I have these two cabinets this cabinet which I do plan to move over there I might actually do that like later I have these filing cabinets and then this desk which I might ask them to remove because I have an idea for a desk for myself so that's the room oh also they're taking this TV down as well so that's the room looks like Jodi might already be here but she's hiding because there's a oh no this is warm that's probably from before but I'm just gonna get set up and wait for Jodi to get here hello you're gonna think I'm a freak talking to a camera no I won't promise you won't judge me okay so we're sitting here planning everyone this is Jodi and Jodi was my first ever mentor teacher three years does not feel weird that you're working with it I created something awesome I'm really excited to be working with my mentor teacher even though my other mentor teachers not here it's still I still feel like you were like would it be a better mentor student teaching met teacher you were did your student teaching with was probably not the best they taught me what not to do true and then you had to take over the class from day one and so it made you a stronger teacher yes you had to do that yes it was a great it was a good learning experience but I did learn a lot from you though because I was with you for like three years I was only with him for one sounds like dating I know my teacher mom oh I love it my teacher mom you can call me um you can call me mom then okay I will not to be your mother I'm 27 I'll be 28 this year would that make you when you had me I'm gonna need you to pause so I can do the math so right now we've already mapped out our ELA map and our math map so now we're just kind of looking through resources and sharing and putting them all on Google Drive so that we all have access because the way we're gonna plan together is we're gonna plan when to teach the standard and then each teammate can choose which resource they want to use to teach the standard so we're not all using the same thing but we're all gonna try to cover and teach the standard best we can so we're just looking through all of our files and sharing and searching and eating junk food hey guys so we just finished up planning for the day we got a lot done we are basically all the way planned through December and we even have resources picked out and listed and I got word that I can go into my classroom on July 16th so I think that that week I'm gonna come in on Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday and start putting my classroom together and my fingers are crossed that maybe maybe maybe my mom will come and help me as well so that's really exciting that gives me like three weeks before school starts to work on my classroom amazing Friday today cash and I are hanging out at the house and I just got a ton of chores done we have lots of things we need to do today but I've already started working on everything and I'm pretty sure I can get through everything pretty quickly I'm just waiting for this guy to go down for a nap I tried earlier and he didn't really want it so we're gonna try again but basically I needed to call the Apple people and restore my computer which I did that's perfect checked off then I needed to call or get Apple to reset Scott's computers password but then I guess something's wrong with Scott's computer so that's not gonna happen I had to package up the computer I had to package up our Cox stuff because it like wasn't working in our room and we had to send it back so to do that then I had to get my W4 filled out my direct deposit forms filled out and cash's birth certificate application filled out because we never did that and now we're going on a trip and we need his birth certificate so I'm doing that then after he naps once he wakes up we're gonna go to the post office mail all of that I'm gonna open a PO box and then we need to go to the Goodwill and take that box in for donation and it's just so much and then I think I'm going to do some shredding because we have a ton of like old mail and trash in this box and this is my office by the way it's like a complete disaster and I would like to get it cleaned up and like organized so I need to shred all of that and I have a new Cinderella wig here that I need to put away and make sure that it's not ruined because it got stuff stacked on it when we were unloading my thing and my house is a complete mess look it just wild so this guy is just hanging out and playing I'm making myself something to eat and we're just trying to survive the day together huh are we surviving are you not wanting to take a nap today huh what are you doing also during his nap if he ever does take one I'm gonna work out while he does nap so I also need to go next door and let the dog out to go to the bathroom so there's just a lot of stuff today lots of stuff fun stuff so I cleaned up the kitchen only to make another mess I went through a bunch of documents and files and like bags full of stuff from my parents house and kind of organizing it just like random stuff I need to put away but one of the things that I got was a giant seven thousand dollar hospital bill and I was almost gonna put myself because I thought we had paid everything already and that was already a lot so when I saw this bill I was like oh my god I called and I checked online and online it said I had a balance of zero so I was really confused so I called them and they were like oh yeah you're fine your insurance covered it you have balance of zero so I was like oh my gosh because that's a big bill and that's not the kind of money that girlfriend has right now so yeah so I'm just cleaning up the house cash did finally go to sleep and I'm just getting a lot of things done before we go to the post office like I said I did get those boxes loaded up into the car though so that as soon as he wakes up I can feed him and then we can get going so I'm just trying to do some last-minute things before he gets up and then I'm gonna come home oh that lighting was no good then I'm gonna come home and I got something kind of exciting right here so I'm gonna be filming a little video I don't know if I'll film it today I might have to film it tomorrow just cuz I'll have more time so that's what's going on over here I found this cute little thing that I used to have at my desk and I think I might use it and then just filling out my planner for things I need to do next week and yeah there's never enough hours in the day it is Saturday today and we are just hanging out we went and got Chipotle I didn't take it out of the bowl cuz it was like overflowing I'm editing a video and cash is playing I'm letting him just like hang out play with himself he's perfectly fine down there and I'm letting him just kind of like explore on his own and like crawl around before I put him down for a nap he did not want to go down for a nap this morning so it was a struggle I just went to the post office to mail all of that stuff and I realized that it was FedEx like 30 minutes after standing in line so I'm gonna have to go Monday and mail that but I think on Monday I'm gonna go to Ikea and run a couple of other errands I do have a babysitter for cash so I think Monday will be fine and I can just do that real quick
