Cookies?


Translation: Ms. P, May you bake me some chocolate chip cookies, please?
Sometimes the students get off topic and so they have sticky notes that they can write questions/comments etc on and give them to the teacher so that they aren't interrupting the lesson. I received this note from a 7th grade boy. I think I used the example of making cookies when explaining the concept of combining things together. Maybe I will bake for them. By the way, spelling doesn't count in this special education class.

Class

Monday nights are no longer filled with going to my ward's FHE and relaxing. My class has started and the fun of writing papers and case studies have begun. I didn't take a class last term (Fall I) so I am a little off schedule. The good news is, that I found my textbook on Amazon for $38.00. Better news, the seller was here in CA and even though she sent it to me media mail, I still got it in 2 days. I guess I should start reading it...
Student teaching is going well...my master teacher is amazing and I am learning a lot. The kids are fantastic and I love being in a middle school! :) Six more weeks to go...
