When you don't trust your students to have practiced giving their presentations in the finite time limit.

There is no such thing as a dumb question.  (Unless I’ve already answered that question 100 times for one of your classmates and you weren’t paying attention so you’re asking me the 101 time.)

#GradblrChallenge Day 17:

Second and final day of student conferences--went a little more smoothly than Monday’s conferences, but still draining.  Some of the highlights: one of my students telling me I reminded him of a slightly more outgoing April Ludgate from Parks and Rec and another telling me she wants to enroll in the children’s lit class I’m teaching in the fall!  So overall, less bad.  

I have to go to class tonight--and we haven’t met for a couple of weeks because of break and our professor being out sick, etc.  It’ll be good to be back, but I’m kind of peopled out after conferences so we’ll see how it goes.  

Today’s To-Done’s:

hold student conferences

read for lesson plans

reply to emails

proofread budget plan

submit postcolonial lit. paper

Today’s To-Do’s:

read more of East, West Stories

lesson plan

gather work materials for tomorrow

Getting 150 6-8 yr olds through the lunch line and finished eating in 20 minutes is IMPOSSIBLE. Good job with that one administration. Good. Job.

Just finished taking the exam to edit for the class I TA for, I hope my students need their book less than I did. Cause they can't use that shit.
