Tired and hopeful.

I haven't taught all the math lessons I need to this week. Literacy is going way better than it is for everyone else. Writing is going well and looks like it could be fun.

I've done 1/2 my reading assessments, all 3 of the writing samples (for each kiddo) and beginning of year math assessment. We are doing well.

My class has quite a few behavioral challenges. I decided to use tokens to help. Thank goddess I did. What they won't do for a plastic counting chip and some free time. A much much better day.

Next week I will master math lessons. It is 2nd grade. It can't be that hard. ha ha. I am not a fan of the "everyday math" curriculum. But I do need to use it.

With behaviors under control we may get an instructional pace established. Feeling like a rock star with throbbing feet.
