Long Time No See

I have decided that this time of year is just busy and crazy for everyone. My google reader has been down and I haven't blogged near as much! I am through with my observation and finished all my TPRI's! I am so excited. TPRI determines who gets out of school in May and who has to stay till June. I only had 2 kids!! : )I was pretty proud. I still haven't heard about my observation but I think it went well. My kids are still talking about it. I did a lesson on the brain. We talked about the different parts of the brain and when you put your friends down or say something that hurts your feelings your brain "downshifts" and you can't learn as well. Every day now, I hear "J, could you not do that? You are making my brain downshift?" or this one is one of my favorites... "Guys!! Stop talking! You are making Mrs. Knights brain downshift!" : ) Love it!


Yesterday we went on our field trip. We headed to the Children's Museum. It was so much fun. My kids loved it. They had so much fun. After the museum we went to the park and ate lunch and then let the kids run around and play. I'm the smartie though, that left my emergency kit at the museum. It had every kids info for my class and one of the other teachers as well! Also, our personal stuff such as germ x, advil, blood pressure medicine, etc. Thankfully though I called the museum and they have it so I had to go get it after school! I don't know where my brain was!
