Teresa's Post for the Week
I now believe in cloning!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I could clone myself I could divide "me" between each of the 500 "Mrs. Andrews, I need you" statements per day. However, my son is standing here telling me that for my clone to be me it has to have had the same upbringing, opportunities and experiences that I have had. My clone will not have had NTI so it will immediately fall short, HA! Anyway, I am glad that my students feel the freedom to speak up in my classroom and know that I will help them in any way that I can. Often my answer is "look it up" and often they will say that before I can even get the words out. They know me so well. I love what I do but I am tired and in need of some kind of therapy I'm sure. Now my very intelligent son is telling me that if I had a clone I would spend far too much time talking to myself. Now I am off to design a unit lesson plan that is due at the faculty meeting tomorrow. Will I get it done.............?
Teresa,
ReplyDeleteI too, am feeling really tired now. Ditto to everything you voiced. Hold on a break is near.
Hi, Teresa - your son is pretty sharp! Unfortunately, this blog and your NTI friends are the only therapy affordable, so keep sharing. I actually had a clone once but he proved to be my evil twin, so had to get rid of him.
ReplyDeleteHopefully you were able to use one of the unit lesson plans from NTI at that faculty meeting. And, as Brenda says, precious time off is on our doorsteps!
