Sundays

I almost always ruin Sundays by thinking about and dreading Mondays. It's not that I don't like my job, because I do. I just would rather not go, if I had a choice! I like the summers when I don't have to stress about getting enough sleep, having something to wear, etc. As I write this, it is midnight, and I have no idea what to wear tomorrow, despite the fact that I spent hours doing laundry today. It doesn't seem like I washed anything dressy for work. I can't really wear jeans or sweats or sheets to work!

Tomorrow (today, now), I'm having "Kindergarten Day" with my students. We're going to sit on the floor and I'm going to read them stories in French. "KD" is part of the TPRS plan, I believe, and this is the first time I'm going to try it. We have a two-hour early release, so each class is only about 20 minutes long. The only thing I'm really worried about is not having enough time. I definitely need to start class right when the bell rings - something I need to do more of anyway!

Friday is the last day of the quarter. I can't believe how fast it has gone. The only bad part of TPRS is trying to figure out how to give the kids grades, since there is very little written work. I feel like such a terrible teacher this year because everything is new, I don't have a good plan of what I'm going to teach, and I just feel lazy and unmotivated... I need to light a fire under myself!
