My blahness...

Woke up early, went to Walmart, and baught a white board just for my students. Along with some healthy snacks that they can buy with the classroom tickets that they earn.

My highlight lesson of the day: verbs. I taught my students about verbs. It was a lot of fun! Lot's of moving around the classroom to act out some verbs, it was grea'.

One child did not want to go home afterschool. I had a lot of fun chasing him, catching him, putting him in the car, putting his seatbuilt on, and locking the door... that was grea' too.

Came home at about 5 pm, and knocked out, I was so tired from today.

Woke up and dealt with some drama with my cousins and the masjid. Khayr, in sha' Allah I'll find a way to take care of it.

I have people coming into my class this week to do observations. I want to prepare a list for them of how my lessos exceed the California curriculum, and to specifically point out which standards have already been addressed. Then to take the day that they come to observe, and to specifically point out which standard we are doing, and how exactly I am going above it.

[The best way to learn is to memorize, record, then drill and kill. You just keep practicing until it becomes automatic! in sha' Allah by the time they leave first grade, it's all automatic, in sha' Allah. I still see students using their hands for math, it's just a sign we haven't practiced enough. When they see for instance 7+2 they should just "think" 9. Soon, soon, in sha' Allah.]

I also spent some time online, talking to some friends, that was nice. I learned that humus increases your fiber, and that ful is excellent for suhur.

Let's see... I wanted to do my laundry, but right now it's late. Khayr, I'll save that for tomorrow.

Yea, that was my day for the most part.
