Wellllll, I had every intention of posting yesterday, but I didn’t get around to it before my bedtime. Yesterday, in English 3, we talked about 1950 America to get ready for reading “A Raisin in the Sun”. We also did more of the “100 Words…” and talked about the anticipation guides we did on Monday. In English 2, we did some more FCAT reading and we started our word trees! Here are a few of the best…
When I got home from school, I was COMPLETELY exhausted (as usual) so I had my typical nap- however it was shorter than the others. Me, dad, and Kelli met mom at the movie theatre to see “The 5th Quarter”. Oh my God, you have to see this movie. It’s about a family’s loss and struggle dealing with teen driving and organ donation, and the mom in the movie (played by Andie MacDowell) is based on a Phi Mu from my mom’s years. VERY touching- we pretty much wept the first 20 minutes and the last 5. Oh man.
Today, I learned something about myself as a teacher- I’m pretty good at adapting. The FCAT retakes tried to ruin my day but I was able to change my plans around, so YAY. There’s more retakes tomorrow, and while I won’t be missing as many students tomorrow as I did today, I’m not sure if we’ll be able to begin reading “A Raisin in the Sun”. But I sure hope we can start it, at least in 2nd period, because I have my 2nd observation from my University Supervisor!!! Eek!
So, today was FREAKIN’ AMAZING AND I SUPER LOVE MY LIFE RIGHT NOW.
Reasons why I’m so happy:
1. Even though the FCAT retakes stole half of my students, the ones I had left were on their best behavior
2. We got to use crayons in every class and I LOVE that smell
3. My presentation at our “Best Sessions” went very well, even though I thought I was going to drown in my nerves beforehand
4. My perfume AND GRADUATION ANNOUNCEMENTS came in the mail today. HOLLA J
5. I got an email from Dr. Witte telling me that I have been nominated for a teaching award from FSU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
