INDECISIVE WEATHER

Indecisive Weather out there around the world.. I am wondering what it's like where you are. Take my poll!
What's the weather like where you are today ?

What defines Sport!? My husband and I disagree on what is and is not a SPORT. Apparently, in his mind, figure skating and snowboarding are not sports. I disagree. Personally, I just think he is confused between "game" and "sport"...

Projects...

I love Projects! I just archived the first voicethread I created over the summer. I did write a letter to go along with it, but I need to find a moment to pull myself together, so I don't get choked up reading it.
For now, enjoy!

A Tribute

Today one of my loyal and honest students approached me and asked, "Mrs. KP, have you ever been so fed up with the drama that you just want to explode and scream I JUST CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!'" I responded, "Yes, honey... But you will learn in time ways to move passed it without exploding." She smiled. As she started to move on I reassured her with, "oh yeah, and welcome to the life of females. also known as drama!" She laughed, thanked me, and went on her merry way!
This instance gets me back to reflecting upon the question my Principal posed to me the other day, regarding whether I'd want to teach all girls or all boys next year, if they decide to make 6th grade single-gender.
I told him I enjoy teaching both, but the girls do have a lot of drama. However, the more I think about it, the more I lean to teaching all girls. Personally, in addition to being their teacher, I think I'd be a good role model and mentor for them. I can connect to 6th grade gira, because I used to be one!!! :)
Anyway, would you want to teach all boys ELA or all girls and why?...
Enjoy pondering this decision!
