It's been a while

As I sit here listening to my beloved Packers take on the 'Queens' in the playoffs, I realize that it's been a while since I've taken time to give attention to my blog. 

I recently made it a "resolution" but 95% of the time my resolutions don't even make it through the month of January. I am hoping to blog more often but if it's a while again until my next post someone should get after me. 

The past few weeks have been a time of reflection for me. For a while I just wasn't feeling normal and I was becoming extremely drained. Thankfully, Christmas break came at just the right time. I took time just for myself and tried not to let all the worries and the lists get to be. I've been very busy and swamped since being back at school but I came back with a refreshed attitude! : ) 

It's so refreshing to look back at the blessings that I have been given. At times I wasn't even acknowledging them but now it's like I'm realizing everything that I have been blessed to have and know! 

Things are well underway in my classroom. Each of my kiddos has been working so hard. I was a little nervous about how their progress would be affected over Christmas break. We've only been back for two days but I've been so astonished with how much they've retained. Since we only had two days of school this past week, we took time to review skills that were forgotten and assess where each of them are currently at.
 
Unfortunately, I left my camera at home over Christmas break. There are things that I want to share with everyone. Hopefully, I'll get something figured out! Until than, keep my kiddos in your thoughts as they'll be getting ready to take the statewide AIMS Winter Benchmark test.
