Hi Girls! It's the Weekend!
I taught the first writing class of my session today and I loved it. I really enjoyed working with the GED students. They just need direction in their writing. Today we did paragraphs and topic sentences. A few had no topic sentence and many had topic sentences that were way too broad. They could see how the paragraph improved once they nailed down their topic sentence. It's great to see the light bulbs light up. Before I switched to the intermediate level for my regular class this year, I taught the most advanced level for several years and I really enjoyed it. Today was like old home week. I even had 4 students from my class before. (I lost my ultra advanced class because we didn't have enough students to fill it. Intermediate has so many students we need 3 teachers!)
Then it was the Friday circus schedule, which is a bit of a bummer if you want to do anything on a Friday night. A 3:30 class, early dinner out with Sonny Boy, and a 6:15 class. We usually get home about 7:45. Hubs gets dinner for himself, so it's a strange way to spend a Friday night! Now Hubs is at the Y and I'm enjoying some unobserved time on the computer! Definitely not a date night.
Ginnie- You need a deadline? Well, I guess I don't know how close you are to finishing a chapter. Would the end of the weekend be too soon? Maybe we need to coordinate and finish our stuff at the same time and exchange!n I think you need a good Edward dream! I don't have a non-teaching day on Fridays anymore until June, but I guess Saturday and Sunday are non-teaching days!! Good for you going back to school! What do you want to study? Will it be for a masters since you already have a B.S.? It's good to do it now while your kids are still young. Once they are close to college, you won't want to spend on yourself - you'll be spending on their tuition. It's funny that you had a childhood rat too!
Kayla - You need a deadline too? I guess it will be a long time before I catch up on your stories enough for me to bug you for an update! (I plan on reading a chapter right after I finish this post, by the way!)
Tracy - That wake up photo is just lovely - no other word for it than that - manly loveliness. Wow - girls' night out with your daughter - how fun! I'm glad people there are impressed with my March Madness Brackets skills!
My extra classes - it's a lot of set up and then it won't be too bad. It's just a lot all at once. I'm teaching advanced material for my writing class, so my current intermediate class isn't eligible. I have some students from my advanced class last year, so it's like old home week. Yes, some days I have to sacrifice my Lexing so that I can write about Lexing!
Marielle - Sorry about the short posts! Hope you get to go to the concert!
Hello
Caryn, wherever you are!
I'm really tired, so after I read a chapter of
Openhome's Singularity , I'm hitting the hay!
Tomorrow bright and early we're going to visit Hamline University for their Admitted Student Day.
I hope you all have fun plans for the weekend.
Nighty Night!
EDIT -My post count is at
1111 now! It looks so cool I might not want to make another post...
I just got to Rachel’s post and beyond.
Also, enjoy your weekend and I hope you make it to the concert.

), and the fire is burning nicely, so I'll say goodnight to you ladies and catch up with you soon!
