" Life as a Middle School Teacher

Google

Saturday, September 17, 2005

I survived the week that lasted a year. Unfortunately, I have the back to school crud. I feel like crap. Last year I got the crud about six weeks into the year, and it decided to pay me a visit this year as well. I think it shows up right when I am feeling the most stressed out. My guard is down, and I quit worrying about wiping the classroom down with Lysol wipes after every class period. I am incredibly busy, both with my teacher responsibilities, but also with my family life. So I get kicked in the a** with the crud.

On the plus side, I have time to read when I'm laid up in bed. I ordered my daughter a packet of award winning books from one of her Scholastic book orders. I decided to read them before I handed them over to my 9-year old with blind faith. So far I've gone through two and I liked them both. I don't expect to dislike any of them, but you never know.

I have also had an opportunity to pick up some professional reading. One book I have been reading lately is called Reading Reminders, by im Burke http://www.heinemann.com/shared/products/0500.asp
I have fallen in love with this book. So I purchased another Jim Burke item called The Teacher's Daybook. I have been writing daily reflections in my Daybook so that when I come home on the weekends to blog, I can tell you about my week with more accuracy.

I just thought I would share that with you. I'm going back to bed now.

Talk about spam :).
MY parents never read the books before they gave them to me as presents. All those years of wondering why I grew up to be a slightly sick individual... and now you provide me with the answer.
