So, as I may have mentioned I live in a East Coast city near some water. And the only thing that is on t.v. today is hurricane coverage.
I have been getting a kick out of all of the Irene references people have spray painted on their storm shutters and plywood. Anyone else secretly love Dexy’s Midnight Runners? “Come on Irene…”
In other new, the school year is coming up quick. My classroom is close to done. I’m just hanging on for a class list and planning to do a little more labeling. And tidying. Here is what it looks like now. (Go back a couple posts to see what it looked like then…)
I’m particularly pleased with the little reading corners.
My jobs for this weekend include:
making word wall cards for that big word wall
making locker tags and chair tags for the classroom
printing labels for binders, portfolios, folders, and workbooks so I can stop writing every kid’s name 15 times
figuring out a scope and sequence for reading, science, and social studies
All boring, indoor activities that can mostly be accomplished without power. So, come on Irene…
