Teaching is like throwing stones in a pond, and we never know where the ripples may carry. This is my daily journey in teaching English that leaves me wondering where the ripples go.

Day 31- "An elegant solution for keeping track of reality." Inception.
This was probably my easiest day of the school year so far. Not going to lie, I needed it. My first period Read 180 class was the start of a new unit, so it was just background videos and a little bit of discussion. My sole English class that met began typing their essays, and my Read 180 lab class spent the class time reading and then perusing the library to find interesting books and what other types of reading there is available to them at school. My iPass period was full today because I had quite a few students who wanted to come and use laptops to type their papers. I'm not sure how much work they all accomplished, but they were given plenty of time to type this first essay, so there should be no excuses for it being late. I do enjoy iPass for this reason, and it gives me time to check in with struggling students, but at times I'm not sure its the sacrifice of my daily prep. I work every single minute of my prep and I still feel like I do not get much accomplished. It's hard, and I'm exhausted. I currently live my teaching live three days at a time. I am living in 3-day cycles and my days of the week have turned into colors. I need to check my totem.
