Cracking down!

So the past few weeks have been borderline unbearable at school. I think it has been a combination of lack of sleep, stress and my children being crazy. After crying on the way home from work two days in a row, I decided that I would spend yesterday just sleeping and recovering, so that I could have a new day today. And a new day was had.

I cracked down. They're still not getting it, but I am hoping that if I can stay consistent, they will be better about their behavior. I am tired of yelling and lecturing till I am blue in the face, so it is ending now. I had so many kids facing the wall it looked like I was trying to teach using a method where the students face away from the classroom. I think it may improve, but I know it will get worse before it gets better.

I hope that it gets better before my spring observation, which could be next week or in two weeks. Very nervous....though, not as nervous as before.

Otherwise, life is grand. I love my friends, I love going to the gym with Kirstyn and Alyssa now. I have like an LA fitness posse....poor Franco. I feel like I always with the people from mission hope, and I feel so blessed, my spiritual life has grown exponentially from the encouragement I have found in them. I hope it continues to grow.
So, spring break is coming up, and I am going back to being a blonde baby, this makes me think I need to figure out something fun and sunny for spring break...what should it be?
