Day...February

So I've made it to February. Too many late nights this week. Have to get to bed earlier. Not been a perfect week, but it has been slightly enjoyable.

1. It is snowing right now. Not that I'm expecting a snow day, but it just looks nice. I look forward to seeing it in the morning.
2. My kids were actually able to accomplish self-selected center rotations without much trouble. It was the most quiet it has ever been during centers/small group.
3. I was told yesterday that the student I moved out of my room wants back in. I'm not gonna let him back that easy. I've basically erased all of his data. His behavior was unacceptable. He just needs to learn the lesson.
4. It feels like there has been increased testing from my kids. I take that as a good sign. It means that the students are starting to realize their limits, and now they are just checking to make sure how firm they are. And I will do my best to back up everything I say.

Next week I have the phone interview for my potential summer job. I've got to organize my room, do some planning work, but also get to bed at reasonable times. There may even be a Tuesday night pot-luck at my house in order to watch Wendy Kopp, the founder of TFA, on The Colbert Report. Tomorrow my kids take a test over material we initially covered before Christmas. Let's see how well they do.
