I have time to catch up.
Forensics season has started. A 12 hour day last Saturday proves it.
Of course, I have grading to do. *sigh
Laundry and housework always await.
A student teacher joining us this week means a little classroom arranging to do.
We are headed to deliver a birth certificate to L tonight. A good excuse to see the B’s.
January has been Birthday month. Sweet SIL, L, Dad, and CT. Lots of small celebrations.
Tiny Town High has had plenty of flu victims, but fortunately my classes haven’t been hit too hard. Thank heavens! I hate trying to keep up with makeup work!
Our English department has been promoting reading. Beginning class with reading, charting pages read, reading goals, talking about books, and sharing favorites are all part of this plan. Book Love by Penny Kittle has been the inspiration. Has it worked? Yes. Books are flying off the shelves and making the rounds. I’ve even read 12 books in 2018. The only problem...continuing to find new books for the classroom library. Or maybe that is finding the money for more books for the classroom library. The favorites are always gone from the school library, so it is nice to have additional copies. We try to hit varied interests and reading levels. Books. They speak our language.
The Mr. is headed to the dump, and I am catching up on laundry and blogging at the same time. Free Saturdays can fill up fast.
Photos: A couple of books I’ve enjoyed, one of the Birthday kids (and a reader from way back, part of the duo who inspired a family of readers), and two of the littlest readers--reading to Nana on FaceTime.
