First up... McTeacher Night. What's that, you ask? Well, it was a way for the reading committee at my school to earn money for March is Reading Month activities. From 4:30-7:00pm, teachers in my building greeted families, bussed tables, got drinks, and cleaned up at our local McDonald's and we will earn 20% of all money spent (not including at the drive-through) for that period of time.
It was seriously so much fun to see everyone come out! And I got to wear a spiffy apron! ;) Ronald McDonald even came to my school today and did a "Books are our friends" assembly for Y5-2nd graders! Now some of my 2nd graders are getting "too cool for school" now that they know they are almost in 3rd grade... so at first, they were a little leery about going to watch Ronald, but he did tricks and sang songs and told jokes and they were all amazed!
So, that was my fun day.
We did our first NWEA (MAP) test and it seemed to go well. My class goes every day for the rest of the week to finish up.
And, last... giveaway change. I'm thinking that keeping the giveaway open until Saturday is too long because I'm itching to choose the 15 winners! So... please don't hate me, but I am going to choose them TOMORROW night instead. I haven't changed the SALE-a-bration to my shop- that will go through the weekend like I promised! And I just typed 'promixed'. Time for this teacher to get off the computer!
If you haven't entered yet... go! :) Here's a link to the original post.
Sorry for the lame post tonight! I just worked out and it kicked. my. butt. And I'm soooo tired! I am going to curl up with my Nook and read my next book! I finished my first one yesterday and loooooved it. I feel like such a jerk for being so anti-e-readers for so long! (And if you missed that post, here it is!)
Anyway... that's it. 15 winners, you're coming tomorrow!
