I wanted to check out this fancy new blog.  I know it’s mine, but it’s like a new house… not really, it’s still WordPress, but maybe it’s like a new room.  Or dare I say its like going back to school after a vacation and moving the desks around!  Yah I’m a geek.  But you [...]

I need to write one, and I’ve never really thought about it before.  I need to come up with something that will spur a sense of community and cooperation in an inclusive classroom.  I know no one reads this but I would love no one’s advise on what should or absolutely should not be said!  [...]

I am now 4 classes down… and too many more to go.  I finished up on the 19th of December, just in time for Mr. Man’s 4th birthday, and then to be thrust full force in to holiday catch up duty.  The last 2 classes I took really kicked my butt, and consumed every ounce [...]

Brace yourself for the list of excuses…. They’re good, I promise…. well good by my standards and it’s my blog so think what you want. I needed to make this happen… 2. Christmas shopping….   3. A little sweetheart tradition that The Cop and I do every year… 4. A much needed week off from [...]

I was warned that this would happen. I’m usually pretty good at keeping up with things, and just getting them done when they need to be that I wasn’t too worried about this little venture. But here I sit. Sunday – thinking back on yesterday and last week and I want to light fire to [...]

So Saturday was my first day with 2 new classes. The morning was Introduction to Special Education, and the afternoon was Children’s Literature. Both will be very intense classes, but I only have 5 more classes of each. So bring it on – not too much though. The special ed. class is fun, I’m there [...]

I just read the most encouraging blog post in a long time. For quite a while now, I’ve been following Stellan’s story. He’s a little one year old who yesterday nearly died. He is in the most capable heart surgeon’s hands and this doctor worked a miracle on this boy’s tiny heart. Little Stellan may [...]

So last Saturday was my last class in the first session of this semester.  Each semester consists of 3 6 week sessions in which I take 2 classes, so that’s 6 classes per semester which is full time and then some.  I passed in my final projects for both classes.  My EDU class I had [...]

So I got this fandangled new laptop (that’s a word, I’m sure of it) for my school, and it’s got this handy dandy thing that just allows me to update my bloggy-doggy-do (gee, I’m just full of them tonight!) right from the comfort of my desktop, not logging on to the actual blog itself.  How [...]

Remember here and here when I had all kinds of apprehensions about starting this whole adventure??  Well this week they came to a head and I nearly quit the team!  This past Saturday I met with the Head of the Education department to answer a couple of questions that I had.  Oh she answered them alright!  Let [...]
