JANUARY SQUIRRELS

January has been busy!  Our Christmas Break went longer into January this year, and then we hit the ground running with Fountas and Pinnell Reading testing of our Kinder, First, and some Second grade students.  We also held several grade level RTI meetings to smooth out that process and help it run a little smoother and a lot faster!  We also had IOWA testing for 3rd-5th graders.  I'm looking forward to getting back into my regular schedule next week.  I've even added a few new groups based on the testing results.  I just need more time to plan for all the groups!

I was very glad to put away the Fountas and Pinnell BAS Kit 1 this week!  I still have Kit 2 out to Progress Monitor one fourth grader and one fifth grader, and then I'm all caught up and will put it away too!  Yeah!

ALL DONE FOR NOW!

With so many things going on in my Intervention World, I remembered seeing this meme and just had to find it!  I don't just have a lot of ducks to put in a row, I have crazy squirrels running around!

Then I remembered a wonderful piece of advice I received about my new position.  No matter how many things you have to do, you need to be able to stop whatever you're working on, handle something else that comes up, and come back to it later without stressing over how much you have to do.  This week during a meeting someone needed to use my laptop and it took awhile to minimize all the tabs I had open.  I have plenty of things I'm working on at once.  But the good news is....I wasn't stressed one bit.  I know everything will get done eventually, so there's no need to stress about it.  That's a really big step for me!  No worries little squirrels!
