I will make it until Thankgiving break, I will make it until Thanksgiving break, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it..... *repeats over and over* :yawn:
I have been having SO much trouble getting up in the mornings.... Thanksgiving break can't come soon enough.
We always get the whole week off. I just always assumed everyone did. Then again, I didn't learn until college that the whole country doesn't get a Mardi Gras break...
I hit snooze seven times this morning. All of the comments in this thread are exactly how I feel. I begin every other day with a prep period and some mornings it's hard to start working. I was just thinking how ready I am for a break and that maybe I would need to use one of my personal days before next week. But, I can make it...
We normally get the whole week off. However, this year they decided for us to have school Monday and Tuesday. I am praying that 3/4 (or 4/4) of my class decides that they want to go ahead and go to Grandma's house early. It won't hurt my feelings a bit
I am SOOOO ready and surprisingly it has nothing to do with the kids. They are the highlight of everyday in the classroom. It's the rest that's trying to break me down.
4 more days for us (well, I'm taking half a day tomorrow for a funeral). I am looking forward to a few days of family time!
NewNCTeach, I like my kids too, they talk too much but overall are a good group. We just need some time apart and I need to get better. I haven't felt well the past two weeks because of a chest cold.
3 1/2 more days!!!! This is such a welcome break! My daughter gets the whole week off...luckily my dad is coming to the rescue and babysitting her! I think I can, I think I can!
To top it off, I'm moving this Saturday and have little packed. I'm willing to be I'll be sleep in 30 minutes.
Yea, we definitely hit the snooze button 8 times this morning.... it's going to be a long few days! I also REALLY appreciate my neighbor blasting their music at 4am, as that's really how I love to start my day.
I get the whole week off & this whole week is minimum days for parent conferences. Tomorrow's the last day before my vacation!
OK, this is me this morning but at least today is Friday!! I have a 2 day week next week. I can get through it!!
All I have left until Nov 29th is a K class doing Jumprope for heart and a 4/5th class doing jumprope for heart(after lunch) and then I have NINE Days off. We are grinding cane for syrup tomorrow with a big meal and then its plant new cane at my nephew's house for next year.
Maybe you can lead your students in "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" whenever you need a little blood circulation to stay awake? I need to start doing random jumping jacks to keep myself going.
OUr kids were wild today too! We had a jeans day which always makes them act crazier, combined with the last day before a week off. I can't tell you how many times I looked at the clock today! LOL--I was saying goodbye to one sweet little girl after school and she said "Mrs. Elocin, what are you going to DO with a week off without us?" :lol: She was completely serious--she couldn't imagine how I could spend my time if I wasn't working with them!! :lol:
I only get Thursday and Friday off, but my students only have Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday is a training day for the stupid reading program. The reading program isn't bad, but the training for it is so redundant at this point. I'd rather be allowed to go in my classroom and clean out the closet and organize.
