For those of you who don't live in Seattle, we have this lovely little thing called Mid-Winter Break. It's a glorious week in the middle of February that we have off, giving students and teachers alike the chance to relax and recharge their batteries. This was the first break in my short 3.5 years of teaching that I did no school work! I didn't even check my email until Sunday night. It took a little prep work before break to make it possible, so I had lessons for the week after break planned, and all copies and such for the first two days done, but it was SO worth it! As amazing as it was, my brain had really hard time adjusting to school again last Monday. My sleep schedule was off and I spelled
Washington wrong on the board, which is beyond scary... Not only have I lived here my entire life, but I went to the University of Washington and have a plethora of UW stuff around my room... I'm hoping this week is things are clicking a little more :)
So how did I spend my week you might ask? Tropical vacation lounging on the beach, Vegas perhaps? Nope! I did absolutely nothing! Ok that's a lie... I did a few things, but it didn't travel anywhere, I didn't make any set plans, I just took each day as it came... Which, for those of you that know me well know, that is not something I ever do! So I did yoga, got lunch with my friend Em, went night skiing with my dad and my brother, sewed a bunch of cute workout tank tops (which you can find on my Etsy site here), and raided the dollar section of Target for things I absolutely NEEDED for my classroom. And by needed I mean I loved them and convinced myself they can be used in my classroom, in what capacity exactly, I'm not sure haha
I got all of this amazing stuff for only $20! Like total for all that loot! I was so excited, as you can probably tell... That's bargain shopping my mom would be proud of :)
Stay tuned for more classroom happenings and this weeks outfits :)
Until next time,
Karissa
