You cannot teach a crab to walk straight.

School is kicking my butt right now. I have three classes this week, the last class for two of them, so big projects are due, and I give a presentation in the other class. I don't think i was thinking straight when I signed up for my presentation date.

So, in the grand tradition of Sarah, my to do list for the evening.

Type up presentation packets
-table of contents
-activities
-bibliography of Konigsburg books
Chapter 8 reflection
Chapter 9 reflection
Reflection paper on Searching for Bobby Fischer
Reflection paper on heart disease
20 minute gym lesson plan
Put together gym portfolio
Read at least 1/3 of the book for Monday
Portfolio assignment for assessment (this is pending information from a classmate)
Write out the text for my children's bookA co-worker is going to take pictures of her kids to use as illustrations, so I have to wait for those

Once I get most of that done, I get to put together my stamps!

I got all the easy, little things done. Took a break to put my stamps together and now I'm trapped on my assessment assignment. It's a b*tch. So I didn't get to go to Rach's.

dodgeball:

dodge
duck
dip
dive
dodge.

that should take out a good 30 seconds of your gym lesson plan. No need to thank me, that's what I'm here for!

dawnmarie said...

Then I won't thank you, T. :P Heh. It has to have something to do with "teambuilding" or "character education". Gym class isn't what it used to be. And it's quite ridiculous since I will never be teaching gym.

how is getting together to pummel someone with balls not a team building/strategy activity?

dawnmarie said...

hee.

I would love to see Dawn do her assignment on how dodgeball is a great activity for kids. What with all the bad press it's gotten lately. (One of my friends loved the dodgeball day. Her and her friends would purposely get hit right away so they could sit on the sideline and talk.)

You guys are so great at writing these lists... and actually following through. Every day that I'm at work I write a to do list. Problem is that I never consult that list after I stuff the list into my backpack and leave for home. Next day, I look at it, highlight all the stuff that didn't get done (most) and add more. Bascially, I'm good at writing lists, really bad at ever accomplishing anything.
