    I love Grade 2*

    Today was my first real day in the classroom as a literacy/numeracy tutor. Last year my job was a little different, I was teaching 6 students at a time a separate curriculum heavily based on literacy skills in a separate classroom and had very little interaction with the teachers or other students. However, THIS year I am right in the class and am somewhat of a student teacher! I was a little apprehensive when I learned that I would be working in a grade 2 classroom as I prefer working with older students, but after my experience today I am 90% converted. I now see why so many people apply…

    New Day*

    Well, Monday was a crappy day. After I wrote that post I had a good cry and the Hubs held me and talked me through my stress-I-hate-school-cry and watched a movie with me until I was too tired to even stay awake anymore. Have I mentioned how much I adore my husband? Yesterday was much better. I decided to break from the ordinary and spend a day OFF campus. It was wonderful. I also started my first day teaching again. I met with my principal yesterday at 1pm to discuss my new teaching position and am SO happy to report that I actually got matched with the teacher I was…

However, we still got our fair share:So, it was a ‘snow day’. If I have any readers from warmer climates, that means that the sky has vomited enough snow that the roads become impassable and too dangerous to venture on because there is simply too much snow everywhere.

    November*

    I am a bad blogger. :( I’m sorry. But I have been busy, and in this post I shall explain why. If you are a regular reader, you will likely have noticed that my number of posts per month have dropped off drastically. I think this is #4 for November, and I used to try and write every day. So let me fill you all in. Grab a cup of hot chocolate, a blanket, and let me tell you my story. Yesterday, I put my teacher’s college applications in the mail. I’m not even sure if I’ve blogged about the fact that I was applying, but that was mostly because…

    Hair by Hubster*

    I dyed my hair black. That’s right. Shop Girl has black hair. Well, almost back hair. And, after 2 days, I think I like it. haha! Now where did I get this new hair done? Well, I found this FABULOUS new salon in my bathroom called Hair by Hubster* and the stylist was a dream! Hottest man I’ve ever laid eyes on. Really, you know you have the best husband in the world when he offers to dye your insanely thick hair for you and does an amazing job. It was really only supposed to be dark brown, but I think I left it in too long and it’s sort…
