I am linking up with Farley today to currently share my Currently!
I love sitting in my home in the quiet and getting stuff done. I do enjoy music to get me going...but once I need to focus and really complete certain tasks, I love the silence (with the exception of the clicking on my keyboard as I type)
I am hopeful that my new 8th graders stay this way. I know it's "honeymoon" stage as some people call it, but I absolutely love our students and how they respond in the classroom. They are polite, engaged, aware of their surroundings, and they are interested in meeting us teachers!
I have already applied for grad school, but haven't done the second set of papers yet. I need to get that going! It starts in December!!!
I am reading a book for some motivation and professional development right now, (Fulfilling the Promise of the Differentiated Classroom), but I would like to read for pleasure. I just don't know what I should read next. This means I should just go on to Goodreads soon!
I am waiting for some paperwork to come through. I just was approved for a car. My old car is just slowly dying out. I feel like it's wheezing every time I start it. Poor silver bullet.
I hope to continue to shine each week within my blogs by sharing what I read, teach, and staying positive.
Good to hear that you like your class this year! As for some book ideas-any of Ron Clark's books--I would say is a good read. I especially like his new book "Move Your Bus".
ReplyDeleteHave a great school year!
Teach like a Pirate was a fun book to read, and short :) .
ReplyDeleteI also would love to blog once a week! Great goal. It kind of can get any from me during the year!

Hey girl! Books on my cue are: Big Little Lies, Eleanor and Park, and I started and finished Home of the Brave (Applegate) this weekend. It's so so good!
