A peek at my week and a thank you, Lord!

Have mercy...this week has been insane to say the least. Coming back to school from a 4 day weekend (not complaining there), getting a student teacher, playing catch up, ballgames with my cheerleaders, and an unannounced observation has just about sent me over! ha If you are not familiar with Tennessee's horrible grand new evaluation process, read about it {here}. Nonetheless, we've had fun learning about MLK, Jr and wrapping up my arctic animal unit. If you were unable to download my FREE mini unit, visit my {TpT store}. I just love the way my kiddos' TLC art turned out. A few look more like Barack Obama and Don King than they do, MLK....but that's ok! ha ha They did great.

I just have to share this story with ya'll...So, RIGHT in the middle of my unannounced observation yesterday....a kinder raises her hand. My students were sharing facts on MLK, Jr. that they had learned from reading a non fiction book. All were SPOT ON and doing great...so I call on student (No big deal - right?), Me: "Yes (child's name)." She said...."Miss Eberhart, (pause) my Dad thinks you're hot!" OMG - what?! This is a bad dream. I quickly glance up at my asst. principal and his hands are over his face and his body is shaking/roaring with laughter. I could have died! Actually, I may have blacked out for a minute...I don't remember much after that. ha Yup, out of the mouth of babes. Stay tuned for how it turns out....Sheeze!

So in the midst of all that hilarious-ness...we were doing this activity:

Seeing that (above) totally makes me wish I had a smart board. Next Donors Choose project? ha While doing the anchor chart...my kinders were filling out a corresponding response sheet. All of these activities can be found in my free mini unit.

And we wrapped up with a little poetry. I just love their sweet illustrations. 

On a different note, I'm gearing up for the 100th day of school. Yippee - one of my most.favorite.days.of.the.school.year! Miss Eberhart's 100 year old Granny is coming back for a visit. WINK! I'm seriously worried that my students will be upset when I show up and not a real 100 year old Granny. Any ideas how to handle that disappointment?

Check back in a few days for some 100th day freebies. Happy hump day blog world. It's almost Friday! Thank you, Lord!
