So, I have to vent for a second. I don't EVER post about my personal life, but I am feeling the need for some bloggy friend support. I have been staying at work SUPER late since school has started this year. I didn't leave the building until 6:30 today and 6:45 yesterday and then I come home and I STILL have stuff to do! My significant other normally travels every week and is home on the weekends. He just recently stopped traveling a few weeks ago and his next work project is located in our own town so he's been home. It is always kind of an adjustment when he is home all the time because he is a VERY active person and enjoys going out and doing things on a regular basis during the week and I just can't keep up sometimes. I, on the other hand, have been swamped with things for school and so I am often doing work on my computer when he gets home. He essentially told me last week that he wasn't happy. It think it mainly comes down to how much time I have been spending doing my work. There are some other things, but this is the major problem. I have been trying REALLY hard to get everything done at school so I don't have to bring anything home, but I just can't seem to get it all done. And to top it all off, I am flippin' exhausted after my BUSY 12 hour day. I have vowed to try harder to do more things with him and around the house instead of coming home and working every day, but I still don't know that I will be able to do this all the time because of everything I need to do and how tired I am from my day. So, I guess I just need your advice...How do you balance it all and have a life?? Seriously...what's your secret?! Anyway, on to the goods! I posted yesterday about my landforms flipbook we made in class this week! Remember, these cute things!? The students finished making theirs today and I totally forgot to take pictures of them! Click HERE to download your free file! Also, I am in the brainstorming phase of my new Halloween unit and Lord knows when I'll be able to sit down and ACTUALLY work on that with everything else going on in my life right now, but just know, IT will happen sometime before mid October! =) My idea is "Boo in the Zoo: An Animal Themed Halloween Unit." I want to incorporate ELA, Math, and Science all in one. Here are some things I'm thinking: * Animal Research (Bats, Owls, Cats, Spiders, and other creepies) * Spooky and Weird Animal Adaptations * Habitats Trick or Treat (Students would pretend they were going Trick or Treating in each habitat and draw or write things they would find there to add to their Trick or Treat bag) I know it sounds crazy, but I'm still in the thinking phase! =) * Bewitching Words (Students would pick and animal and write describing words) * Monstrous Metaphors & Spooktacular Similes (Animal related of course!) That's all I've got so far! What do you guys think? Any requests or suggestions of things you would like to see included? I'd love your ideas!
Anatomy can be overwhelming at times, even for older children, but it doesn't have to be! Plunk down a box of crayons and these free, printable Anatomy Coloring Pages then watch your student naturally take an interest in terms like "foramina" and "sigmoid."
