Blog originally published April 14th
I'm in second period.
The kids are all working on a Powerpoint project.
And I am blogging.
(Sneakily.)
Last week was exhausting: there was a ton of upfront "teacher time" which required massive energy on my part. We started a new book on Friday, and so I read the first 20 pages of Things Fall Apart in a nice clear, loud, expressive voice to FOUR different periods.
Fell asleep that Friday at 9:30pm. Woke up the next morning at 9am. Was knackered indeed, and relished every minute of those 11.5 sleeping hours.
After that, I resolved, "Less of me; more of them." I believe students learn better by discovering new information on their own anyway-- it helps them learn better and also keeps ME from crashing and burning.
Still: I now have time to sneaky blog, and can't help feeling guilty. Eep.
That's all for now-- should supervise the kiddos!
