Happy Fall Y'll!

I know it has been over a month since I have posted.  I have not been doing a  great job at keeping my blog up.  I can list all my excuses or just continue to get back on track.  Here is a summary of what I have been doing:

Grad School:  I posted this summer that I decided to go back to school for my Master's Degree.  I have been spending a lot of time working on that.  Working full time and trying to balance that is a tough one for sure!

Student Council:  This year, I was asked to be the student council sponsor. So far I am loving it.  We had our elections and I got a great group of kids.  We have since helped with the school BINGO night, school store, spirit day, and we are working on  can food drive as well as a float for the local light parade.  I am having a ball with this one!

School Store:  This goes with student council, but I listed it separately because it takes my time alone.  I have to count, sort,  and roll the money that the kids bring in from what they sell.  I also have to order and track the items we sell.  I could spend a whole day just doing inventory.  But it is for the kids and I have found if I do a little bit each day, I can manage it.

Work:  I still am working full time and loving that too.  I have a great group of kids this year.  Next week I am starting our Halloween writing prompts and I can't wait.  This week we are going to be writing about pumpkins, but next week is probably my favorite activity of the season.  I did it last year too and you can read about it here.  I am referring to my ghost writing prompts.  During the week we discuss transition words and how writers use them to sequence events or steps.  Some people teach this using PB&J.  Since I love Halloween so much, I teach it with ghosts.  I have my students make ghosts out of cheese cloth and then we write the steps using transition words.  The kids love it as much as I do.

Home:  I also have my responsibilities at home as well as everything listed above.   I don't know how you all do it.  I am ready for bed when I get home.  And now I am moving, so I have to come home and pack.

That's my update for you and I will try to get back to writing at least once a week.  In the mean time, be sure to check out my TPT Store for updates!
