In the last week i have taught my regular classes and subbed for someone in the afternoon everyday since last Thursday. I'm not really complaining, don't get me wrong, i love teaching little 6th graders about sea-floor spreading and the mid ocean ridges. It's just getting a little tiring when you couple it together with meetings (teacher book club - Tuesday, team meeting Wednesday, MYD meeting -Monday, and volunteering once a week at one of the sports events-usually Wednesday). There are days that I get to school at 6:45 just to get ready for classes that start at 8:20. I can't prep after school since there is someone else in the classroom I share. The computer that I am supposed to use doesn't recognize me and the work order is on back order. it's just a little overwhelming this week. No, I'm not complaining and you can't make me say that i am!
And now for something completely different (thank you Monty Python)... One of my co-workers is doing a canned food book drive. Sounds weird doesn't it. My co-worker is part of a service project for a food bank and is looking for gently used books suitable for children between the ages of six months and 16 years. We can feed the child but sometime we forget that kids need the books that will spark their imaginations. My school district is pretty evenly split in the rich side water side and the poor side highway side. We may not be literally on the other side of the railroad tracks, but what our kids have is pretty sad. So when your thinking about how to create more space in you own homes, if you have a book or two that your own kids have out grown (but not wore out) let me know and I'll find a time to visit and pick them up.
bless someone with the joy you have received
