Salty.

Tonight was my first attempt at making egg salad.
It didn't come out too shabby, just a little salty.
But still delicious.


School has been slow; I'm really struggling getting lesson plans done.
I believe my recent difficulty comes with the discovery of "differentiation".
Knowing that I shouldn't hold a student back until the others catch up is great! but it creates so much more work. I know it's worth it so I'm eager to create differentiated work, but it's a very time consuming project.


I had to yell at a student yesterday :( Not fun.
As per the advice of other teachers, I needed to show K that I was serious about being respected and that I just won't let everything fly. It was tough and I didn't like doing it, but it was necessary.
Hopefully, things will get better and we can move forward and stop having such setbacks.


Tomorrow a few teachers and I are going to the Unhappy Hour at the Edgar Allan Poe museum in Richmond.  I'm super excited!
It's going to be a really cool time to hang out with colleagues and sister, while celebrating fall with a good ol'fashioned Poe reading.


Dear Fall,
I'm grateful you're here.
