Getting up at 6am to drop off Little Frank at work and head to New Teacher Academy is not easy. I really dig our superintendent. swoon He welcomed me/us to the promise land. giggle. But it feels so good to use my brain again. Today was curriculum day. We met with our district ELA instructional specialists and all new MS Language Art teachers. Umm so fun. My peeps!
We had a resource book walk (MY FAV THING TO DO AT BARNES AND NOBLE). My name was drawn and I WON a book! I got goosebumps. We analyzed several short stories, pieces of literature like MY FAV, Sandra Cisneros HMS. It was destiny! We modeled the Work Cycle using Notice and Note reading strategies. We read, thought, shared, moved, reread, rethought. I learned more acronyms and educational jargon these last two days then I can remember ever. Just as long as I'm doing it the "Northside Way". Yea I better be bc our superintendent's son attends our school. Oh and I rocked the English house today with my teacher/parent skit (topic AV guidelines). I'm sure I turned red. It was great day to be a literary nerd! I remember what I love about teaching English!! Let's do this!!! Comments are closed.
