If that doesn’t sound like I’m pregnant, I don’t know what does.
However, I’m not.
That, in and of itself, is a super long story, but I think I blogged about it a million years ago and if I find it, I’ll link it up. (There. I found it. Click {HERE}.
Anywho . . . I have a Growing Bundle in my TpT shop. It’s my first. It’s a growing bundle of Reader’s Theater with 3 Characters. I’ve never had a growing bundle before. But I received a few requests and I ignored them.
I ignore things that scare me quite often, such as the scale, or the treadmill, or vegetables, or even that drawer in my dresser that needs to be cleaned out.
But I got to thinking about those Growing Bundle requests, and I decided it would be okay because the pressure of actually creating the packs each season that need to be included wasn’t necessarily pressure.
Here’s why: I’m going to make the packs for my own class anyway. I love to switch out my Reader’s Theater each season, and I need these plays with 3 characters for those times when I have an odd number of kids. I already talked about it in length {HERE}. As much as I want to partner my kids up, and make everything all even, and everything happy, and no one upset in a my whole day is ruined because I don’t have a partner and the teacher won’t be my partner because she wants to nap, it almost never works out that way for me. I have kids coming and going all the livelong day. Someone, inevitably, ends up as the odd man out.
SO! I know I will be making Reader’s Theater with 3 Characters seasonally for my own class to add to the collection of partner plays. I feel no pressure about it and, call me crazy, I enjoy writing these plays. It’s like my hobby.
I know. Someone get help.
I also know I will need all three levels for each season — Kinder Kids, Beginning Readers, and Advanced Readers because while I have kids coming and going all the day long, I also have kids on so many different levels, I might as well be teaching a combo class. And by combo, I mean grades TK to 4th grade, and I am not kidding.
Just call me teacher. ๐
So here’s what it’s about:
And that’s all I know.
I’m going to go rest now since I have a growing bundle and all. I heard we need lots of rest.

Dear Kristin,
Your blog makes my life complete! I'm not kidding! I enjoy your humor sooo much! I can't stand watching The Bachelor because of all the drama (it's too much for me), but I can't wait to read your blog about! ๐ Anywho, thanks for making this teacher's day.

If you ever do adopt, your next question will be "When are you going to adopt another one"… Seriously, I didn't get home from the hospital with my newborn til my husband and I were getting, "So… when are yall gonna have another one" ๐
P.S. I just went to the store to buy stuff to make the soup. ๐
