An answer to my medical problem ... Bulletin Board Set Up ... and $300

Another Five for Friday Linky Party. Only one more left before I officially go back to school. WAHHH!

  I have a diagnosis to the medical problem I told you all about last week. I have Meniere's Disease. Check out this article for more information. I've been getting horrible dizzy spells since November. They are debilitating. If I don't lay down right away, I vomit (sorry for the TMI).  Each episode lasts 30 minutes to a few hours. After a spell, my body is done for. I can't do anything. I feel like I was hit by a truck.  Yes I've had spells in the middle of teaching and gotten sick in-front of my students. It happened twice. Not okay in my book. Along with this disease is hearing loss. My husband always complained that I never listened to him when he asked me something. I always told him that I couldn't hear him. Well, turns out, I couldn't! With this disease, it is harder to hear lower pitched sounds. Plus I have this annoying ringing and fulness feeling all the time. ANNOYING! Okay, I'm done rambling. 

Due to being bedridden for two days this week (thanks Meniere's), I only got to work in my classroom one day. There is not any air. Therefore, I only stayed two hours. It was a very unpleasant (and sticky) two hours. I did manage to get one bulletin board done. Love the way it came out. You can find the Reading Comprehension Posters {here}. I have a bright edition and a chalkboard edition. The posters are GREAT reminders of what that "ACADEMIC" language you use all the time means. 

   

  Are you getting ready for Back-To-School (sorry for mentioning it). I'm filling my TPT cart with lots of goodies.  The one item that I'm very excited to use again this year, is my AR/Reading Counts Clip Chart. It is the best way to get ALL my students motivated to read and KEEP on reading.   

 

  I love making these Memes. Seriously LOVE!!!
