‘Cheating’ with Fruit
Happy Halloween, from Michelle Obama. That is who I am this year. It is not the most creative, but, it does fit into our schools theme. We do Career Exploration Day instead of your traditional Halloween. So, between the dress, the heels, trenchcoat, and delts–I am the first lady.
I got up early and helped the little one get her make-up on. We got her fairly wings, she has a lavendar, flowergirl dress given to her by a friend. I gave her glitter eyeshadow and pulled her hair up into a prety pun–and voila! Fairy Butterfly Princess. I am looking forward to the day when she wants to be something unique and different. Such is a fiver year old.
My cheat for Halloween is all the fruit my stomache can take. Yep, that is my answer to candy. Do I want candy? Yes. I want a Snickers–badly–the fat 300 calorie one. I like them in the microwave for a few seconds. But I also want to win–so…my solution is fruit. It’s sweet and good for me. Win. Win. Work has been going a mile and minute. It’s report card and conference time. And it is my first time on the other side as a teacher. I am just going to go about it as I would like–get to the point, tell me the good and bad, and let’s be out. Now, I guess this works for me because is very tight wound at school. She loves to help. She loves to read and speak aloud. It’s just when she gets home, I guess the uniform comes off and she can let loose. We had her conference last week and it was quick and to the point. I liked that. Preparing for those was stressing me out until I stopped, took a breath, and realized that I don’t have to do it like everyone else, nor do I have to use every form that pops up in my inbox. So, I am doing my student’s conference like a gallery walk, there will be a running powerpoint of their pictures. As a first year teacher, my goal is to work smart.
