Is it Spring Break Yet?

It seems like I was just asking if it was Friday, and now I want it to be Spring Break  lol.Yesterday was bad. I mean pretty bad. And it was only first graders! I guess they had a sub the day before for about 2 hours (the day I did roving, they had a roving sub). And then they were horrible for me. Horrible as in not listening. As in not being quiet. As in I had to stop and wait to teach MANY times. As in they had their heads down on the tables for about 10 minutes because they were that bad. As in 2 kids got 'Uh-oh slips' and sent to the office.

Uh-oh slips are new to their school as they are trying to implement PBIS better. They had way to go slips, now have Uh-oh slips, and are using Learning Earnings as reward now.  The uh-ohs are so new (I think this week?) that not many kids have them. And the kids I gave them to, well it was their second in two days. 3 uh-ohs= a referral. And the teacher told me to threaten them their Valentine's Day party, so you think they'd have been good right? *sigh*

Oh well. I survived. And some staff had pity for me and took me in the staff room and gave me ice cream. Yes, they like me at their school :)

Today was fun. I helped out at my friend's work and helped with her kid activity. Today we built birdfeeders and every kid also got bird food. And if they wanted, sweetheart candy and Starbucks hot cocoa mix leftover from Ladies Night.  I think I had a bit too much of it today lol. And I totally forgot to take pics *sigh*

I am totally excited because I realized that Miss Foote from Chickadee Jubilee is in Oregon too! Somehow I  never realized that. And we're both feeling pretty jealous envious of the other bloggy meet ups. And there really isn't anyone in Oregon blogging that I am aware of...but there is us two! So hopefully we can meet up sometime!

And part of me wants to do another linky party but I'm afraid it'll be a flop ( my last one had just a few link ups :( ) but I will try again next month... I think. :)

I survived!

Well I got a call this morning for a half day. It was for a Resource teacher and I had lunch duty, a first grade class, and lots of copies and writing letters to do. Now I have to prepare myself for a kinder class for the rest of the week. The poor teacher's mother died and she said she only trusts me with her kids.

I'm scared as this was the kinders first real day of school. T/W/Thurs last week they were split up and Friday they all came together. She warned me they are squirelly and has bribes treats for me to hand out in case. And she said I can use them all. My bag is loaded up with stickers and I'll grab a few books. Plus they have PBIS (positive behavior interventions and support) and they have special one papers for subs as it's on golden paper. They are the Eagles and so they are called Eagle Feathers. Regular teachers have white ones but subs give out golden ones so they are more special.

Wish me luck (I'll need it!)
