Celebrating Women

Happy International Womens Day!
Today I celebrate my mom who inspires me, my grandmothers who care for me, my aunts who always have my back, and my cousin’s who are my best friends. I celebrate my sister in law who shows me the balance of hard work and caring fiercely for others. I celebrate my amazing female colleagues who I can commiserate with, share hardships and fun experiences with, and who have my back personally I professionally. I also celebrate all my male allies who support women achieving equal rights and equal pay and believe I am just as strong and intelligent. Cheers to celebrate the power of women!

Have a wonderful Friday!

Towards the end of the class period, while students were completing their final class activity, I went over to the late student eager to hear his excuse for today. He explained that he was late because "my turkey ran out of his cage". I was surprised and amused by this story.  "So I went to the slaughterhouse on Friday to pick up a guinea fowl and a turkey" he began. "I had the turkey in a cage in my living room. This morning, my grandma woke me up and yelled 'the bird is out of its cage!' So I got up and went running around outside my house to find the turkey. Then my grandpa woke up and yelled 'what's going on here?' Then I told him about the turkey. So anyway, th...

Tension

Tired, anxious, on edge Later than usual Less time to plan Less time to prepare Bell rings Students file in Feeling unsettled Students are chattier than normal Spring fever in full swing Unprepared for the lack of focus Feeling tension start to build Students not completing the work Repeating instructions four times Less patient Frustrated Losing all sense of calm Pause Breathe deep Take a minute Release the tension The day has only just begun
