Life of the Party

Football It's the sound of the loudest fan It's the loud music of the band It's the intense moment of the game It's the moment of instant fame It's the blood, sweat, and tears It's the moment of no fears It's the coach screaming plays Its the long practices most days This is a work of progress. I will try to remember to post the final piece. 

    This school year is going to be great! We are off to a wonderful start, but I'm stuck at home for a few days. I'm super upset that I'm missing work, but kidney stones really hurt. I tried to go to work yesterday, and I was sent home.       I hate missing school days. My students will get behind without me there to guide them. I wonder if all teachers feel this way when they cannot be there? This feeling of guilt has washed over me and will not go away. It's the beginning of the school year, and I need to be there to uphold classroom structure and a safe learning environment.     What I've done today- - Checked my student's blog accounts to read about what is happening during their literature circles  - Graded last week's papers and provided student feedback - Planned for student stations to begin on Thursday
