Day 12 - "Finally Friday" - SOLSC

#SOL21

My daily slice is inspired by someone who brought back my joy of the acrostic poem. In honor of that post (and Friday), here is my own.

Feel the weight of the week lift off your chest
Realize that you did your best
I really wish I could have changed
Doubts in my head that can't be rearranged
All the days I fight my fright
Yet, God has given me the might to continue on into the light. 


I was also asked to share about the days of my former career. I don't think two poems in one slice is a bad idea, so enjoy a look back at my 15 years in RADIO.

Radio how good you were to me
All I did was enjoy the scenery
Days and days on the air
I never knew I wouldn't still be there
On the radio all those years, one stop on a journey that led me here. 


Until next time -

TGIF! I am so glad it is here.

Your poem about radio got me thinking about teaching online. I see some faces, hear some voices, but a lot of the time I feel like I am talking into the void.

Random Thoughts - "A New Teacher's Testimony" - 23 Days Until School's Out!

The blog challenge might be over, but I find that I miss writing. I miss expressing my new teacher's testimony and today I felt compelled to write. We had bees, state testing, and a room-clearing all in one day. I am "abuzz" with grad school work, meetings, and thoughts of where my new journey in education will go. My mind is full of thoughts, so many thoughts. When will I no longer be considered a "new teacher?" What will my classroom look like next year? Will I have one? Where will this journey take me? So, many, thoughts..... This new teacher misses sharing her thoughts with you, so today on a Tuesday. Here I am. One new teacher on a journey all her own. One more IEP to write, and 23 days until school is out..... Oh, the thoughts, so many thoughts. Until next time...my final thought of the day. *GB

#SOL21 Even when our class isn't called for the school drill, I see you. Even when the lunch staff forgets to bring you your lunch and you miss half of it, I see you. Even when you aren't invited to the class because of numbers and social distancing, I see you. Even when you are forgotten to be called down for specials classes, I see you.  Even if nobody cares to see you, I will forever see you. Until next time, *GB

Day 22 - "Only 4 Days Until Spring Break!" - SOLSC

#SOL21  Monday is my least favorite day of the week. This isn't because the week offers a bazillion opportunities to advance my skills and craft, but because the weekend seems so far away. Today we were thrown a curveball - a student was absent so I had a class of 1 for the day! (I also had to run groups remotely throughout the day for the kiddos who aren't in my self-contained class. Yes, I made this schedule so essentially I did this to myself.) I think the highlight of the day today was during lunch. Since I have to eat with my students I find this time to be a chance that I can get to know them even more. So today with my class of one, I look over and see a look of complete disgust on his face. I say to him, "are you ok?" He was looking at his chicken and tells me, "chicken makes me throw up." Yep out of the mouth of wee ones, comes the slice of the day. Plus, a big chuckle out of Ms. B. Thank you sweetie, for being the slice today. When I think about ho...
