Went Much Better

June 4th, 2013 at 01:48 am

I slept maybe 5 hours last night. Got to the school shortly after 7 (unheard of for me!) Had two surprise student additions, but thankfully had 6 who didn't show up.

Overall, it went much, much better than I feared. The kids listened well, and other than math, everything ran pretty smoothly. They (kids) seemed to enjoy everything I had planned out for them - even overheard multiple students saying how much they'd liked summer school. Smile

I had one student tell me that she was surprised that I (a teacher) hadn't melted standing out on the playground during recess. I guess most of the teachers don't tend to stay out for recess ... Oh well. Smile

I broke my rule to not spend anything ... I bought 6 $1 decks of playing cards for math class - math war! (If you've never played it, you really should sometime. It's a blast!) That'll be enough to occupy a group of 6 students during a rotation. That'll help the congestion of kids needing their initial worksheets corrected/signed so they can go to the next activity/game.

I think I got a bit of a sunburn - need to see if I can find any sunscreen 0 don't remember the last time I had any though.

My doctor called with my test results from Friday. No anemia, etc. My thyroid is still on the low side, so she thinks we may have to up it again. Once I can get my new prescription filled (insurance won't pay for it until June 5) if I'm not feeling more myself within a few weeks, she may up it. I really don't like that idea because I'm at .15 right now and am not sure how much further it goes up. Somewhere I have the idea that .2 is the upper limit, and then it means something like you have a non-functioning thyroid. Really don't want to research it and scare myself ...

I got a 40 search win on SBs this morning before leaving for work. Big Grin That definitely helped me make goal much more easily than it would've been otherwise.

    Laura, are you getting enough protein in your diet? I know you're vegetarian and I'm not suggesting animal protein, but I know a lot of vegetarians who slack off on the protein and feel tired and exhausted all the time, then when they increase their protein intake they start feeling better. Maybe a protein shake or something.

    I think the expense for the cards was money well spent. I figured you would have a good day with all the planning.

    Thanks MEC Smile
    LR - I think I get enough protein - mostly through vege meats though which aren't the best thing for a hypothyroid person. A protein shake though might not be a bad idea - especially if I added the protein to a fruit shake - be good on these hot afternoons. Smile
    Thanks Rob Smile the cards *definitely* helped today - kids were having a blast playing War. Smile

    I'm sure you know vitamin B-12 can be an issue. I'm not vegetarian but had a B-12 deficiency. Got it fixed and I'm a new person!
