The first day of Scholastic meetings started off with us meeting Carol in the lobby of the hotel, getting our clearance badges for the next few days, and a walk from the hotel to the Scholastic headquarters; it took about 10 minutes. You would be amazed Read More...

This is my room at the beginning of the school year before the children came in on the first day: Notice how shiny everything is. How bare bones the room was? Throughout the year I've added games and projects and papers and all the other things you accumulate Read More...

Monday, May 16, was Day 164. A day full of decisions and dilemmas. Why, you ask? What was going on? Well, Scholastic decided to bring back the Advisors for the Lucky and Arrow book clubs for a few more meetings. This is not a usual practice, but there Read More...

Day 128 was a regular school day. My students worked on grammar, read a little, worked on drafts of their reports, learned about pioneers, and discussed how to find the perimeter of a shape. I guided them through the day, worked on sub plans for Friday Read More...

Saturday I awoke around 6:45 to be dressed and ready for room service, scheduled to arrive somewhere between 7:15 and 7:30. Breakfast was prearranged by Scholastic; all we had to do was call down to guest services, tell what time we wanted breakfast, Read More...

I am very pleased to announce that I was able to get the problem with my phone fixed by a nice man from Verizon, who was able to direct me to the exact link to get my driver downloaded for my phone. I spent about an hour doing what should have taken about Read More...

I'm baaaack! I just want to say that Days 110, 111, and that subsequent Saturday were whirlwinds of activity. I got back home yesterday afternoon, took a nap, ate dinner, watched TV for a hot minute and went back to bed. I am still tired today. (Of course, Read More...

One day until I blow this Popsicle stand! Okay, okay, maybe I'm a LITTLE excited about being in New York for a few days with the Scholastic folks. I am really looking forward to everything this weekend has to offer. I will try to update each night, but Read More...

So...how'd it go? I'm sure some of you are wondering how my observation with the Scholastic representatives went today. If you've been following me, you know I've been a little nervous about it. Not like a "my-principal's-coming-TODAY!" nervousness, but Read More...
