Loving: Spring Break- Not much else to say about that! Spring break was this week and while I didn't go anywhere extravagant, I have gotten some rest. When we go back we have two crazy weeks and then a week of testing. So, this was what I needed in preparation for what is to come!
Thinking: It is finally feeling like spring around here! Yesterday it felt SO nice to spend time in the sunshine! My mom and I went for a nice walk along the river in Cincy and it was beautiful.
Wanting: Spring break to last a little longer! I've had some back issues this break and I would love to have a few days without my back pain, prior to going back to school!
Needing: In Ohio, we have to give SLO's (Student Learning Outcomes). These are used in part of our evaluation. So, this year our school focused on writing as a school-wide SLO. This means grading 25 persuasive letters. I've started and have about 6 finished, but they take FOREVER to grade. I've been putting it off all break. Our data is due this coming week, so I am hoping to have them done before I go back.
EGGS-plain your name: My blog is named Miss King's Enchanted Kingdom, because my name at school is Miss King! One of my kids tells me every year that I should be Miss Queen instead of Miss King. I always told them that I was the King of our kingdom at school.
Woot! I get to meet a fellow 3rd grade teacher through the Farley linky party!
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel about having to grade the essays and prepare for a crazy week of standarized testing. I'm going to try to milk every second of my spring break!
Good luck with the grading-n-testing!

We do SLO's too...we have all sorts of OTHER names for them as well! :) We are starting our break and then start testing the day after we get back. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog name! How perfect since your last name is king! Enjoy the rest of your spring break!

I am so glad you were inspired by Think Tank today! If you do begin to nudge your personal writing journey... I will be following! Just added myself to your long list of followers! Maybe we could think of a way to encourage each other to keep writing! Maybe participate in Slice of Life...start our own weekly writing posts...hmmmm....need to think on this one :) And to think...it took Think Tank to meet even though we are in the same district! Happy Summer! Happy Writing!
