Hmmm tell me you're wearing sensible shoes first.<br /><br />Great to hear that creative writing is a plus among the students. There's nothing more gratifying than being part of the writing process. <br /><br />Good luck and please send the foot karma bodhisattva back when done.<br /><br />PKAisle Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14269549353612065870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236334828969414641.post-58343347703545593282010-08-19T14:41:12.401-07:002010-08-19T14:41:12.401-07:00130? and you still had time to write that? wow. ...130? and you still had time to write that? wow. it sounds like you are such a truly wonderful teacher.Priya Parmarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00756102036026323839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236334828969414641.post-85963596344508453322010-08-19T07:37:35.270-07:002010-08-19T07:37:35.270-07:00This post makes me so happy because my high school...This post makes me so happy because my high school creative writing teacher changed my life!

We are on A/B schedule, on the block, so I teach six sections--3 on A day and 3 on B day. I have three preps, not that bad when I know teachers with up to 5. I hope you have a great year!<br />@Frances: I agree, bookshelves are the big score. Now I just need a table for the back of the room....bibliophiliachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495943887513443615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236334828969414641.post-48297560085116710342010-08-18T17:49:05.229-07:002010-08-18T17:49:05.229-07:00Oh yes!

We are still in teacher prep and pd right now. Our kids come back Monday and I can't wait! I will remind my feet of the challenges ahead before Monday. :)Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12597485569740436880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236334828969414641.post-86511768125856664792010-08-18T17:27:26.980-07:002010-08-18T17:27:26.980-07:00I wish I could be excited as you to go back.

I start on Friday with a workshop all day and then I will be able to get in my classroom on Monday. I hope you have a great school year!Laura Kozy Lanikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660048273181347880noreply@blogger.com
