I'm doing the best I can...

It's been a while since I've had an actual post on here. From the looks of things around blogland it appears that life has taken over for ma others as well. It's crazy how quickly the days and hours pass by.

My own long-term subbing gig has gotten in full force. I have to give some major shout outs to Oceans of First Grade Fun and Crazy for First Grade. They have several little math and literacy games/stations that I have been using with my sweet groups and my kids are really enjoying them. Thank you, thank you for sharing and being so generous.

However the possibility that this subbing assignment could end in December is very high, since my school lost 2 and a half points. I'll never understand how we can be the largest school in the county with approximately 1800 students and still lose points (which means we have to cut back on teachers). So the pressure for a full-time position still lingers.

With that said, I have a few more thank yous:
