New Centers Are Great!

I was working on report cards yesterday and found a few students that I needed to screen.  So, I got those kiddos screened and thought I was in good shape for finishing the report cards.  But, while I was working on the report cards and the behavior reports I realized there are three more kiddos I need to screen to more items.  Rats!  Just as I was feeling like I was on top of the situation my bubble was burst!
Tonight is old man night.   It was my turn to cook, so we went out to Billy Boys.  Luca went over to a friend's house after practice, but didn't know about it until I had waited on him for two hours.
It is very very cold here.  The high was only in the mid 30's.  If it is going to be this cold we should have something to show for it.  On the other hand, I don't want to miss any school.
I have a boy and a girl blanket in various stages of completion.  The boy blanket is a blue background with cars, boats, and planes embroidered on them.  I need to find a material to put with the blue.  The girl blanket is a pinwheel in several pinks with a pink with multi color polka dots as the main fabric.  I am really liking the pinwheel blanket.
The new centers are really going great.  We have a 30 minute literacy center time in the morning and they are keeping the kids busy, which I am happy about. They are practicing beginning sounds, short and long vowels, putting words in a sentence in the correct order, and inventive spelling.  In the afternoon they are going to  math centers and they are practicing addition using dominoes, addition using dice, number patterns, and decoding numbers.
