For me, I call it procrastination time! If there is a cupboard to clean, groceries to buy, a walk to be had, or chocolate Easter eggs to be eaten, I am on it! It's not that I don't like report card time, it's just I have a hard time settling in and getting started. Once I get my "game face on", I am a report card writing machine, whipping out meaningful detailed comments. I LOVE thinking about my little firsties and smiling over just how much they have grown. My report cards are due in about 72 hours....... so a little more procrastination with a blog post won't hurt.... right?
1. March kicks off with a Dr. Seuss theme in my classroom. How excited was I to see the Cat In the Hat cam app was free for a limited time only! It is normally $1.99 but I see it is still free tonight. Check out it out if you want to Seussify your friends!
2. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all the Teach Me apps. I was thrilled to see they have released a Teach Me 3rd Grade version just last week! I am thinking about buying this one for the 3rd grader who lives in my house! It's $1.99.
3. I have been LOVING my dropbox app. It is just what I needed and has simplified my life this past month! Although the camera upload is certainly SLOW!
4. Tonight as I was browsing the blogs I follow (another great way to procrastinate), I discovered the creator of one of my most favorite tech blogs created a website of all her Seasonal games. How awesome it that. Of course I added that short cut to the seasonal page of my class wiki! This is TOTALLY worth checking out. There are apps for each seasonal site too! I plan to check out the St. Pat's ones tonight!
5. Today we held a fundraiser at our school "Ipod/Hat Day". Students could pay $1 to wear a hat during school hours and $1 to listen to songs on their ipod (whatever device they own) during working time. The fundraiser brings in a few hundred dollars, the kids LOVE it and my class has never been SO quiet, aside from a few "burst into song moments" lol
So I suppose I have procrastinated long enough. Happy weekend everyone!

Excellent Blog Post! How to be a Primary Teacher and what is it like to be a primary school teacher in the 21st century? Well, it’s possibly very different to what you remember from school and definitely one of the few jobs in the United Kingdom that allows you to make a difference, and make the world a better place, every single working day.
