Tired, Just Tired

I've been working all week on correcting papers and working on report cards.  We are in the midst of state testing...you know the one that says whether we are a failing school or not (yeah there is sarcasm in that remark)

Next week we start parent conferences....we have 57 students...one day we are in conferences for almost 6 hours!

I haven't been doing too much teaching this week, as the tests are from 45 minutes to an hour...and our kids take 10 of them...2 solid weeks of testing....it sucks...and they need some down time, plus I've been wicked tired lately....

We have been working on some of these....They had to make plushies....They measured, cut out, sewed and stuffed...and today they started working on their Quatrain poems to go along with their plushy....

They also had a project due to create a social studies game to teach landforms...we've been playing those in the afternoon.....It's just one of those weeks....An FYI, most of these kids have never sewn before or seen anyone sew....

Those plushies are outstanding! Hope the testing and conferences go smoothly and quickly.

Wow, you need a sleep ;) I went in as a parent helper once a week to help with sewing a few years ago in my daughters Primary School (they were around 10 years old) some could sew better than me (sad but true), others, well let's just say it got messy LOL... GOOD LUCK!
