Phew. As excited as I am about these two days away from kiddos, I’m feeling overwhelmed thinking about how much needs to get done before the workweek is over.

This is the current state of my desk.

Not pictured: All the paperwork (that needs to get filed) that has been shoved into all those drawers over the past few weeks.

Despite all the inner crazy, there have been some pretty great moments this week.

Like yesterday. When Chuck E. Cheese showed up at school.

  

Or on Tuesday. When a 5th grader was caught leading a sight word group with two 3rd graders.

Or Monday. When this cute kid was using a really great reading strategy to help him focus during his STEP test.

The days without the kids are so helpful for my overall productivity.

They’re just not as fun.

In any case, I’m going to take advantage of the quiet day and get a lot of work done.

Hope you have a good one!
