The countdown has been on for a while, but it's now officially almost here. I leave for home on Tuesday morning, and there's still a lot that I need to do before I can leave. First, today I spent getting most of my laundry done. I still have 2 loads, but I think that I'll leave those for when I get back. One is a load of sweaters, but my drying ( Read more... )

There are only 14 school days left before winter break. I'm super excited for it. I really need a break (the 4 days for Thanksgiving just weren't enough.) Plus, I'm excite to get home and see Jo. I haven't seen her since she was engaged. The only downfall to that is wedding dress shopping. But, what's a best friend to do ( Read more... )

Well, with life being so busy, I always seem to have problems getting to the computer to make a post. Life is pretty hectic, with lesson planning and soccer. I think that it's been almost a month since I've posted. The soccer teams have now been chosen. We had to cut 9 girls, so there were way more at the meeting than showed up to try out.

So, it's been a while since I have posted. Life seems to be so busy out here in Vegas. The first quarter just ended at school, so now I have to get my grades posted by 10am tomorrow, hopefully there will be time during the inservice....I only have like 150 or so grades that need to be posted. I'm a bit disillusioned...there are a lot more kids ( Read more... )

Okay, so it's getting kinda late for me (I hate getting up so early in the morning!), but realized that there were some things that needed to be added before I forget about them ( Read more... )

I only have a minute at the moment to make an entry. Guess I'll have to make one later also, because I can't be late for this workshop that I must be at this afternoon. I just had to make a comment about the football game I was at last night. I went to our high school football game. First thing I see is one of my students who is either drunk or ( Read more... )

So, I spent the weekend grading....again. I can't believe how horrible the test results were. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I mean, I don't want to fail about half of my kids...I'm going to have to start coming up with some other ways for my kids to get points and find out if they are getting the content. I need to figure something out ( Read more... )

I know I haven't made an entery in a while. I've been so busy, that sometimes I wish there were like 30 hours in a day rather than the 24 that there are now just so I can get some extra sleep or get caught up on some other things that I need to get caught up on ( Read more... )

So week one is now into the books, and here I sit planning for this coming week. While doing that, I have taken the time to reflect on what is going on down in Louisianna, like many people are. Last year I was in Florida during hurricane season, and had the dubious honor of experiencing multiple hurricanes. While Hurricane Charlie did much ( Read more... )

So, school has started. I feel so far behind for some reason. I was supposed to meet with my mentor and get a few things, but unfortunately I haven't been able to for various reasons. My classes seem alright for the most part. I think it will get interesting in a few of them. I think there are a few who are going to try and push my buttons. ( Read more... )
