Sunday Scoop & A First Day Activity

Happy Sunday! Today I'm linking up with Teaching Trio for their Sunday Scoop Linky. 

Here's the Scoop...

Friday was the first day of school, so that means it's back to the normal Sunday routine of lesson planning, laundry, and ironing! Soon I'll add grading and football to my Sunday routine. 

I'm hoping to get back into the habit of walking each evening. I did well the month of June, but then the heat came and I lost all motivation! Yesterday, I walked/ran a pop up 5k put on by Kevin Hart, so I'm feeling a little motivated to get back to my walking routine. I'm known for fixing lunch and leaving it at home. I hoping to do that less and less this year! 

I'm really excited about seeing Frozen on ice Saturday!  

There you have it my Sunday Scoop! 

Now, I want to share a first day activity I did with my students that went really well. It was a KWL chart all about me, Ms.Roland. 

Students used sticky notes for each section. It was a lot of fun (definitely broke the ice)! It's surprising what students already know about you from their older siblings and friends. I answered every question they asked; there were a wide range of them from what is my favorite candy to where did I get my hair done. And in the end they learned a lot about Ms. Roland.  Lots of good conversation...Monday it will be all about them! I'll post about it later in the week. Have a great week!!!

  

Sunday Scoop (9-14)

I'm back with another Sunday Scoop! I'm linking up with the ladies over at Teaching Trio for this fun linky. 

I've put off my lesson planning since we have PD tomorrow. I'll have to get them done tonight. 

Students have finished their first book project and I'm hoping to get them all graded and returned to students this week. My goal is to grade 5 from each class everyday this week. I also need to make a Walmart run soon and pick up some necessities we are running low on a lot of items. 

Last week, I was hoping to get out and run/walk 4 times and only made it out twice. This week I'm hoping to get out 3 times. Girls on the Run begins this week, so that will help motivate me a bit more. We are two weeks away from my son's 3rd birthday, and I'm hoping to get all the shopping done this week for party supplies, and order the cake, and balloons.

As soon as I post this we are going to head out to the circus. I'm so excited! The ringmaster is a guy I went to school with, and I'm looking forward to seeing him do his thang!!!  It is my son's first circus! Did you know your child can get a free ticket to their first circus if you sign up before their first birthday? We're using his free ticket voucher today.

Have a great week, and I'm of to the Greatest Show on Earth!
