Lately, I have been awful about writing blog posts. It’s not that I don’t have anything to say- just the opposite, actually! I just don’t have a lot of time. I love my new job, but it definitely keeps me busy. In order to make sure I don’t find myself snowed in under a huge pile of papers, I have been trying to grade as I collect, meaning I am grading, grading, grading!
Also, I am constantly planning. I love the feeling of starting anew, but it means I have to spend more time planning my lessons. I was so used to my old curriculum that I find myself looking for new resources whenever I sit down at the computer.
Plus, I am trying to read all the time, catching up on the YA titles I skipped over when I taught sixth grade. I don’t have a lot of time to read (#bookaweek, not #bookaday!) but I try to squeeze it in whenever possible.
Add to that taking care of the dog, going to Rutgers’ football games, and trying to cook dinner every night- I need a vacation! 🙂

I will miss you……….I teach 5th and 6th grade English and loved using your ideas for my class. Good luck!

This post describes my life (except for the football games and the caring for the dog)!
I teach in a school with a four year rotating curriculum, so I am constantly researching and writing and planning curriculum. It’s exhausting!
Your dinners are always delicious!
