I've been making some stinkin' awesome teaching plans lately. Seriously, they're really good. They will increase engagement, learning, and fun.
Unfortunately, after lunch I just feel so tired...and the plans happen but they aren't as amazing as they would usually be because my energy is lower and I can't manage to muster enough of it to excite my little third graders to the level that is needed for my plans.
At least they'll be getting a fantastic long-term sub with energy when this baby comes in the next couple of months. Then they can remember what it is like to have a teacher with energy to go along with the fun plans.
And when I come back after my six weeks, maybe I'll have some energy again...but probably not. Sorry kiddos, I'm doing my best! (But there's really only so much I can do when there's another human inside of me taking all of my energy.)
