November Blasts

This month just flew by!

  • Last week we started every day 2 hours late! Despite every school around us closing on Tuesday, we braved through it and thus saved our snow days for future... or an extra day off in April. Which is nice too!
  • Conferences were. Apparently, if junior and senior parents aren't really that interested in attending. I got some grading done.
  • I'm behind in grading again. I know you're shocked too!
  • I've managed to take two days off for RTI. I've finally got charts filled out for all our current intervention students and started the list of those to "watch." Hopefully, I can arrange for another day in the next week or so to go over those lists.
  • I'm looking forward to doing A Christmas Carol with my senior AP students. Finally, a group that doesn't need two-thirds of the description explained to them. But first A Modest Proposal. I think it'll make a fine intro to the Scrooge like public Dickens was skewering.

Giveaway!

Free Stuff! What a great way to start a week! A little somthin’-somthin’ for my peeps. (does sound hokey? ‘cause it sounds totally smooth in my head).

Which can buy you something very nice to make your January quite fun or your Valentine’s Day a little more romantic.  CSN is comprised of over 200 online stores, where you can find everything from Delsey luggage to Le Creuset cookware! How styling would I look with this set, while attending my first AP reading? This has a definite wow factor! Yes! I was asked… still waiting for my district to work out the details as it takes place while we are still in school. No one can make the decision at this point because, well… there is no more money anywhere. I’ll know for sure by next week. Enough of school politics! This will be one of those giveaways with fantastic odds! Unfortunat...

I was tagged... Here are the instructions: 1) Go into your archives. 2) Find your 23rd post. 3) Find your 5th sentence (or closest to it). 4) Post the text of your sentence in your blog along with these rules. 5) Tag five other people. Here it is... Since I was to be in a meeting all day, the district hired a substitute for my classes. And thus my aversion to having subs in my class was born. Or rather the unknown factor of them - the planner in me cringes at the thought of being off schedule. Of course, I could be flexible, but flexible is much harder.
