D-1: Can I stick with a letter for more than a week?

Ah, so you're still checking. I admire your determination and tenacity; it far outstrips mine.

My posting schedule is now adapted to fit my schooling schedule, and I know it will work because I've had the plan for a few days and delayed initiating it. That was the part of me that doesn't like this whole accountability thing. Since I'm home from my student teaching gig between 3:30 and 4:00, my new vulnerable time is right in that window, when I'm home and Shannon is not.

I'm technically behind schedule today. It's 4:22 and I've been home for 40 minutes or so. I fed the dog and surfed around on the internet. Not the best use of time, especially since I knew I needed to start re-updating this blog.

Entries should be in two parts: a reflection on the day so far, and a plan for the time ahead.

Today went well. I really like the school, the students, and the faculty. I used my free time today to grade papers and continue planning a unit on A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. I made a study guide for the book a year ago and am eager to apply what I've learned since then and I hope to figure out how to teach it to a class.

Today we're having pizza and playing board games with the neighbors. Should be fun.

  1. Glad to see you are on track and enjoying student teaching. Do you realize how RARE that is? I'd love to see what you do with the unit on A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Keep it up!
