Reading preparation and Insanity

So I've been back for a week and feel like I'm starting to truly get into the groove of summer break! However, I'll be at the school on and off all summer. We're implementing Daily 5 and Cafe full force (as in our entire school is dropping the textbooks, yay!!), so I'm on a team to put together training for the week before teachers officially go back.

If you haven't already seen it, there is a book study going on over at We Read, We Blog, We Teach, go check it out! They're on chapter 4, but you can look back at the previous chapters. I really need to catch up and look through the book again!

Also, I'm trying to prepare for my new job as a reading specialist. Yesterday I met with our previous specialist to see what we have and go over a quick review of what's expected of me. I'm in search of blogs from other reading specialists, so if you know of any good ones, please let me know!
In other news, I haven't talked about my weight-loss in a while because it's been at a stand-still. I joined a group on the myfitnesspal app that's trying to lose 10 pounds in a month. Then I found this site on Pinterest that has links to a bunch of workout videos on some Chinese youtube-type thing. The video is the real thing, you just can't read anything on the website. Thank God for universal symbols though! So I did a little bit of Zumba, but I've heard a lot about how Insanity really kicks your butt and shows results. I tried to do the fit test twice last week. The first time I made it through about 5 minutes (maybe). The second I got to the first water break 10 minutes in and quit. I talked to a friend of mine who's doing the videos and she said to just take it a lot slower than them and use the pause button, so I decided to go for it again. I took a TON of breaks, but I made it to the end of the fit test today! I'm going to try some of the other videos later this week. I'm determined to get back into my old clothes and pack up ALL of my maternity stuff!
