Since July flew by at warp speed, I’m here with the Oh Boy Fourth Grade Currently August already!
Say WHAT!?
I can’t believe it.
Kind of like McKayla Maroney can’t believe she fell on her @$$ and got the silver. If looks could kill.
This Sucks
BTW- Does anyone think of McDonalds or Grey’s Anatomy when they see her name spelled that way?
What menu item would the McKayla be? A veggie burger? A double meat double cheese? What do you think?
Ok, back to Currently in August.
Well first, I’ve already worked a week at the district office, and I’ll be working all this week at a workshop for the district. SO summer is over. The only blessing is we start around 8am instead of 7am. Kick me now.
We worked on writing GT curriculum, and it is good to have the entire year pacing calendar already ready to go. I know exactly what vocabulary words I’ll be teaching on January 14th! Actually, I just made that date up, but we really did map it out to that detail. Seems strange, but hopefully it provides consistency across the district.
Today I filled out my August calendar and it is packed! Between school PD, running stuff, and doctor appointments I am booked!
I’m pretty freaked out about the skin cancer now. After meeting with my Mohs Surgeon, he encouraged me to meet with a plastic surgeon to discuss doing the stitches. So, surgery is postponed for a few weeks til I have my plastics consult. I don’t know if that is what it is called, I just made that up. Sounded Doctor-like. I’ll be writing more soon about this. I’m still in denial. WEAR SUNSCREEN PEOPLE!
I had to take a break from writing this post to watch the men’s gymnastics floor routine. Have you noticed that a lot of gymnasts are bounding out of their passes with awkward leaps and jumps so they can avoid landing deductions? Well, tonight my goal was to do the funny jump with the men every time they landed. I call it the butterfly. It is much easier than what the women do. I earned a bronze for my efforts.

I can’t believe July is over too. Back to reality. Boo.
God bless about your plastics consult!
Thank you! I vote for an extension on July!
I’ll send thoughts your way for your nose! Maybe the plastics guy will look like McSteamy??? We can only hope!
Good luck with everything!

Thanks so much! Unfortunately I read online he is 61 year old. More like McGrampy. lol
Yay for curriculum! Boo for surgery, plastic or otherwise!
And I always thought I’d be a boob job. lol Jk sorta.
Oh Man… if you need to talk let me know… I know what you are going through!!! & I can’t believe she fell on her booty and I AM SO EXCITED to have you at FRANZ!!
I’m excited to work with you to.
What irks me about the name is that “Mc” is a prefix that means “Son of”, so basically you are calling your daughter a boy.
Even worse!
If I win the lotto tonight, I’ll send you some money. Keep us posted on the skin cancer– I can’t imagine how scary the whole thing would be. Preaching SPF is a good idea.
Happy Wednesday!
AWESOME! I will update soon! in the meantime I am hittin the red wine for some antioxidants! lol
HAH! I LOVE your picture of McKayla on the stand.
I had a planning day today with my math team and we rough planned the first SIX weeks. We know what we want to do for each section of our lesson plan, just need to create some documents and games! SO EXCITING. Good luck with everything!
BTW. You have such a cute writing style. It makes me smile just reading it and picturing you jumping with the men
Thank you so much! I LOVE that feeling of having lessons already planned out. I like to plan MUCH more than I like to wing it!
