Sorry, Running Late. Here’s Our Day in a Sentence Sunday January 27, 2008
Posted by blk1 on January 23, 2008
Welcome Back folks. Sorry I wasn’t up and running earlier. I spent the afternoon at a guitar marathon of Brazilian guitarists. Good reason, no?
First up, Delaine reminds us about the winter in late January and the deadlines coming upon teachers as the end of the semester comes closer and closer.

Students fill the room; yearbook deadlines loom; skies are all gloom.
Melba Lucio returns again, to join us with lots of news in and outside the classroom.
This week has been unusual for me–I attended a hippie/motorcycle wedding in Oakland, California–wow I had never attended a wedding where I was the oldest person there–everyone was under the age of 28 at that reception! Incredible but so interesting to watch young men and women, how they danced, spoke and loved one another–now back to reality, I am so excited about my new Comp I students–I am energized by their youth and eagerness to learn. I need to find a permanent job with the university–even if it is less money than the district job I have. I am thinking with my heart these days–my creativity is being stifled in my current job but it pays well–but I am not happy so I have to weigh my choices very carefully this spring semester–since I am not a spring chicken anymore–I turned 50 over the holidays and I need to think of my future in education.
Matt has great news to share. All our best to your granny, Matt.

We went to the hospital, we x-rayed her hip, granny’s okay.
Lynne Culp adds her unique approach to boiling this week. BRAVO!
Lynne’s words:
can’t find the sentence but here’s my six words?
Sentence sandwich
finals grant
deadlines grades
writing hurts
Larry Ferlazzo | | larryferlazzo.edublogs.org
Last week Larry shared frustration but this week things are better. YEAH!!!!
“I’m feeling excited about some tech experiments I can try in the classroom this semester because the District has unblocked the sites I requested — a week turn-around time isn’t too bad at all!”
Susan | sphillips@poughkeepsieday.org |
Welcome Susan from HVWP. Glad to have you join us this week with such a lovely vision of the nature around you. Hope this is just the beginning…
Spent the week watching the moon set in the west and the sun rise in the east each morning, as I drove to school, thinking that this kind of sky gazing might be making me a traffic hazard.

This week Alice left her mark in many forms. Thanks for all your efforts, Alice.

Mary | sawyerm@newpaltz.edu |
Mary Sawyer joins us from our HVWP as well. Glad to have you even with life moving at lightning speed for you
This week was a blur.
Karen McComas | mccomas@marshall.edu |
It’s a pleasure to see this sentence again, this time on my blog. Thanks Karen.
Every day I drink (coffee), read, write, talk, think, teach, learn, and capture it all in my favorite journal.

Wow, that sounds fantastic, Gail. I’m jealous.
The highlight of my week was attending a regional ed tech conference where I met fellow bloggers Larry FerLazzo and Alice Mercer f2f.
Steven Masson
Steve also joins us from the HVWP and we hope he comes back for more. He reminds us again, what time of the year it is for high school teachers.
I spent the last three hours grading mid-terms and wishing that we could spend more time teaching and less time testing.
Cynthia Calvert
What a pleasure it is to celebrate this week with you, Cynthia. Star Teacher and Grandma!
Wednesday was a most excellent day: Tommy LaRue’s (my sixth month old grandson) murmur is innocent and nothing to worry about, and Emma, WCCA’s Star Student, selected me as her Star Teacher; my cup overfloweth.
Never fear, here’s Mary Meyer
“Cold, snow, wind power inhabit my back yard.”
Kevin
Here’s Kevin’s variation. Don’t mind us, we keep playing with the bar…

Bonnie, your Tucson video evoked great moments I’ve spent in Arizona territory. Loved the music too. Next time, keep coming west to LA:)

Thanks for the support, Lynne and I Would LOVE to! Let’s plan for the next NWP first.
