Good Things

Are always happening!! Today, we have a grade level meeting. I wasn't very excited about the meeting, but when I left, I was pumped! Our school is trying out a new thing this year. Each grade level has an interventionist that will be helping our lowest students. So, this means that on Mondays and Tuesdays there will be 3 teachers in my room!! I will be working with a small group, Gigi will be working with another, and the Special Ed teacher will working with her kids. That means that just about every kid in my class will be receiving an extra dose of my lesson. How exciting is that!! We are bound to have better scores and higher achievement this year. :) I am so excited.
Tomorrow will be my last day making the drive from Guntersville to Birmingham. I am kinda sad about the morning ride. It's when I do some powerful thinking. It will be soooo nice to just drive 20 minutes to get home in the afternoons though. My moving crew (Mikey and Jason) will begin the process early Saturday. I asked Mom to stay with my Saturday night to help get more stuff situated. I called ADT today for an alarm. I was amazed how much an alarm cost for installation. Needless to say, I'll be checking around :)
Tomorrow is also the first spelling and math test for my babies. I am a little worried about the math test. I don't know that they are ready, but I gotta do it. I hope they make me proud!! Just so you know how good my kids are--- today, the art teacher told me they were the most respectful kids in 3rd grade!!! They got big heads, but I want them to have pride in themselves.
I'll be without internet at home for a while, so don't think I'm neglecting you...I just can't blog at school :)
