i think i'm officially at about day fifteen of practicum planning. it must be somewhere near that. it feels like it's been just short of forever, but i'll continue on. in reality, i have very little choice. my practicum begins on monday and, like the good little girl that i am & always seem to be, i need to be ready to teach. that doesn't so much happen with the snap of my fingers. in fact, i'm covered up to my knees in papers for my crime scene investigation unit that i'm creating for my grade 8 students. why didn't i choose to teach graphing or subtraction or something? why did i think it would be fun to make up a whole unit like this? well, in truth, it's actually quite fun. sadly enough, i'm finding that i somewhat enjoy the hours creating worksheets and other handouts. i just need there to be an end to all this creating - an end that's less than two weeks away. of course i say that and then i sit here and blog and facebook and take the occasional peak at my myspace (www.myspace.com/jennsalt). ugh. i'm a renowned procrastinator and i can't seem to break the habit. here's hoping that i don't sit here drowing in worksheets and handouts straight through to monday morning. that would actually be quite tragic.
sadly, this diversion must end. back to my books and papers i go. i must say though, that i'm pretty ecstatic to teach on monday. two full weeks of teaching coming my way and then the day that finishes, i pick up andrew in seattle and he's visiting for two weeks (while i go to school). this next month is looking pretty good, if i can wade through these papers before monday.
