Three straight days

...of doing the following:

Open Court decodables - it's like "The Song that Doesn't End," except with more paper cuts


And there's more here.


I actually think some of these poems are exact copies, pictures and all, of what I used in elementary school.


I swear the school's laminater can cover anything in plastic - paper, cardboard, jeans, cutlery, tennis shoes, etc.


So it doesn't look like much, but it really did take three days to finish. I too, was surprised at how long it took to get just this stuff done. No wonder teachers complain about clerical work overload.
