Do I Have a Life?

Absolutely not! I've been thinking about what to blog this week, and there is NOTHING! Why? Because all I do is school, home, school, sleep, wake up, school again! This has been a great year with my students. But, I must say it has been nonstop pressure and overwhelming from week one!

Although I DO actually have a life (at times), I do not feel like it at all! So...as far as my blog goes. I'll show you what I've been doing.

Mrs. Johnson's class has been busy and about the business of learning! We blog about it too on our blog: www.johnsonsfrogs.blogspot.com


We all look happy when we take pictures, but you never know what happens right before the flash! Ha! Seriously...I have not had any major issues with any of my students precious angels.

We have done tons of math! We have worked on place value with standard form, expanded form, and word form. We have compared and ordered numbers and added and subtracted with and without regrouping. All of this was done with up to six-digit numbers.

We have also reviewed multiplication. We learned about multiples and factors.

I can't even tell you what all we've done in reading and language!

We have reviewed parts of a sentence and the types of sentences. We have added descriptive details. Verbs have way too many parts! Let's see: linking verbs, helping verbs, verb tense, past perfect tense verbs, main verbs....

We have been reading for major AR points!

We played with Mr. Potato Head (mainly just because I needed a fun break! Ha!) to introduce prefixes and suffixes.

We sequenced events in a story using clue words, verb tense, dates, etc.

We matched subjects and verbs according to correct subject-verb agreement.

Of course, we had a dance for the students whose parents joined PTA.

But, more importantly. We TESTED!!!! Thus, the pressure!

Thank you, Lord, for my job! And thank you, thank you for the WEEKEND!

Anyone else done all this lately?
