I can do this...

Okay, so tomorrow morning - oh wait, its after midnight, so this morning at 6:30am I gotta get up and take the wonderful transit to my school so that I can be there before 8:15am. Nice. Anyway, I get to observe my grade five class in action and see what I'm up against. I am supper excited and spent this evening getting a start on some of my planning. I came up with my rules and expectations, procedures, a "getting to know you" activity and started planning my Wall of Weird. Since I know y'all don't know what that is, let me explain. The Wall of Weird is this super sponge activity I invented in my first practicum. Basically, I change the topic each week and have information up for the kids to look at and activities and related questions for them to do. That way, if they finish their work early, they have something fun and educational to work on PLUS I don't get bombarded with the "What do I do now..." question, PLUS since I have some gifted and talented students, there is a start to my accomadations for them! yay...I love it, and my students in my last class loved it too. Anyhoo...since I have to be up in a couple of hours, I best get me some shut-eye. Good night!
