I have laryngitis. Started coming on Thursday afternoon and by Friday it was gone. I'm squawking if I talk, so I'm whispering.
I usually lose my voice once a year or so. I'm not sure why but it seems that if I get a cold it will end up costing me my voice. I'm hoping this is the one time for this winter season.
Teaching was a little rough yesterday with no voice. But, I'm happy to report that my kids are in such a good routine that we were able to accomplish a lot even with me whispering. We did our Literacy Centers and Daily Oral Language after we took our Spelling Test and did our regular morning routine. They finished up a project in Social Studies that they enjoyed, then we switched and I got my co-teacher's homeroom kids. We had just enough time to do some Literacy Centers before lunch then had to cut the afternoon short due to our all-school assembly to celebrate Red Ribbon Week.
The assembly was a lot of fun. We also spent the last two weeks doing our fall fundraiser and the assembly kind of tied it all together. The kids could earn a 12 inch piece of duct tape for every item they sold in the fundraiser. They then used their duct tape and got to tape up our 2 male teachers (to a wall). They were chanting "duct tape! duct tape!" as names were called to come get their pieces and tape up the guys. It was fun. Then a teacher band lip synced to some songs while all the kids danced. It was fun!
Today, I get to visit with two of my best Texas girlfriends. We're long overdue. And, since I can't talk much, I get to listen and be filled in on all that's going on in their lives. Can't wait!
Hope you're having a great weekend!
