Blog Time
My question for this weeks blog is this, wasn't March 29th to be our last blog? With that said, I will go ahead and post for this week. As a teacher right now I feel like my 3rd profession, after nursing and teaching, should be professional juggler. Sometimes it is VERY hard to keep all the balls in the air at one time and not drop something. Of course I am referring to the many tasks and responsibilities of teaching. I see some teachers walking around with their cup of coffee every morning, and leaving almost before the kids get out of the parking lot, and yet I am trying to use every morsal of time I have just to get it all done. I know this is an issue that we've discussed many times during class and on our blog, but it remains an issue and I suppose will continue to be an element of question as long as we teach. I am grateful for the support and humor of my classmates in NTI. I think getting go know each of you has been one of the highlights of NTI. So as of April 25th, thanks for the memories!!!!!
Teresa,
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of your questions and comments about the last blog deadline and also the professional juggler's profession. I am over- whelmed and trying desperately to stay a float. I often see the veteran teachers looking so relaxed and at ease with their cups of coffee and I on the other hand just wishing for a break. I am justing waiting for a break to absorb this school year, all I have learned at NTI and from my colleagues.
Hang on Teresa, we are both waiting to exhale on April 25th.
