….until Christmas vacation, that is.It’s been tough this week. The kids aren’t very motivated. I’m not very motivated. My ankles are gigantic. My fingers in my right hand are usually numb. (That’s fun).Our whole school is supposed to be moving sometime. I’m not sure exactly when. Everyday, they tell us “tomorrow”. So, it’s hard to […]
teaching
just a boring update post
i see that it’s been quite some time since i posted last.it is because my life is extremely boring, i must confess.let’s see….. on saturday, i made cookies all day long. there’s still a bit of work to do to bring that task to completion. i have to decorate the sugar cookies with frosting and […]

old
so, today is my 30th birthday.it sounds so old.yet, i feel so, not-30.i pretty much feel the same as i did in high school.(without the whole pregnancy thing, of course).if i knew then that people who were 30 felt just like me, i would have called them on acting so grown up all the time. […]
a versatile number line
perhaps i should have been more specific with my directions.i guess i just thought one would usually assume that a number line is just that — a line. but, it is not so. on my last test in “intro to math”, this was the number line one student drew. it’s definitely one of my top […]
Nothing
I really don’t have much to say, but I thought it was time for an update. Ummmmm…. The softball team is 9-0. Most of the games have been shutouts/blowouts, but we had a couple of close calls. In both we pulled in out in the bottom of the last (7th once, 8th once) inning. It’s […]
