Day 7 and 8....Teaching subtraction is for the birds...

I am so sorry I forgot to post last night! I was so tired that I just crashed by the end of the day! I did take a picture though, so I am including two days pictures in one post! Yesterday I wore a dress that is in my two favorite colors! This purple and yellow print knee length cotton/jersey blend dress I found at the Gap Outlet is really pretty and comfortable! I paired it with a black shrug sweater from Old Navy because the dress is spaghetti straps and that is not allowed at school, and then I wore black t-strap sandals, also from Gap.

My day was relatively uneventful. I am helping my cooperating teacher prepare for her big evaluation on Thursday before I take over, so we are all kind of stressing about that because we want to make a good impression for the principal!

 

 Today, I wore a really fun white and blue print maxi dress from Target, white sandals, and a denim jacket. It was really comfortable all day long until we went outside! I thought I was going to die! This dress/jacket combination turned into a vacuum trapping all heat while we were outside. Poor clothing choice today, but at least I looked cute! ;)

I don't know how many of you have attempted to introduce subtraction to 1st graders, but let me tell you, it is HARD work! They were not understanding that you take things away and I think the whole class, myself included, was getting very frustrated. We didn't even make it to Math centers today because we were working too hard on our whole group lessons! I am going to have gray hair before they finally master subtraction! I am sure I will post more about my adventures in subtraction.

That's all for today! Thanks for reading!

Until next time readers,

:)
