Just Some Thoughts...: June 2010
http://hypermak2.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Hopefully it won't be too long before the next Colorado trip! I'm Kind of a Big Deal. Okay This post is going to make me seem incredibly vain, but I felt the need to share. Sitting on my sofa this morning, watching music videos, drinking coffee, and checking my email, I decided to do something I haven't done in a couple of years. I googled myself. Of course, being the sort of person that prefers anonymity, I'm thinking that it might be time to look into privacy settings for my account. When thinking abou...

A few weeks ago, my creative and talented friend Lindsay gave me an idea for a new blogging project. She knew I was struggling to find a focus for my blog and suggested I start a whole new blog looking something like this. Feel free to take a gander at it. Ideally, this is something that I'll update nearly every day. I've been trying to keep the posts short so that it isn't too much of a time commitment, should you decide to stop by for a look. Again, here is the link to my new page! Arizona was less to ...

Just Some Thoughts...: "I Think I'm Already Getting Used to the Heat"
http://hypermak2.blogspot.com/2010/07/i-think-im-already-getting-used-to-heat.html
I Think I'm Already Getting Used to the Heat". Well, after 11-ish hours in a hot car, most of it down a one-lane (or is it 2? You know, when there is only one lane for each direction and your only hope for passing slow moving vehicles is the extremely fortunate combination of a dotted-line on your side of the road and no cars coming the opposite direction? Road, David and I arrived at our parents new home in Chandler. Im sorry the car was so hot! Thats how we roll in AZ. July 7, 2010 at 11:21 PM. I am Ne...

So Long, Summer. My summer vacation has finally come to an end. These are the things that I'll miss the most about my break:. Going for long evening walks. Hanging out on week nights. No brown bag lunches. Driving with the windows rolled down. More than 12 hours a day of sunlight. Never having to plan a single lesson. Good bye, summer! I changed the title of my blog today. I got freaked out. I changed it back to the original title. I do not like change. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

A Few Observations about Teaching, From a Third Year Teacher. 1 I will always have a slight anxiety attack when the bell rings at the start of the day. 2 Any lesson can be made better by involving a really great picture book that applies to the concept being taught. This is something I'm rediscovering after being a bit lazy with literature the past couple of years. 5 Fridays are consistently the worst day of the week when it comes to management and behavior issues. 9 Every so often, you'll meet a kid tha...

What Makes Me Smile. A short time ago, I found a good blogging idea. On my friend Jenny's blog. Her idea was to write a list of the different things that make her smile. I think it's a positive thing to reflect on what makes you happy, especially when your life has slid into a rut. So here is my list of things that always make me smile:. Puppies (or baby animals in general). Lazy days spent at a park. Listening to live music. Stargazing (I don't really mean of the movie-star variety). What Makes Me Smile.

I think I'm failing. A couple of weeks ago I found a notebook containing my list of New Year's resolutions for this year. I couldn't remember any of my resolutions, so I decided to glance over it to review how I was doing. Read 2 books a month. Not so well. I had been reading the same book since November. Last week I officially gave up and began a new one. I'm 3 chapters in. Wish me luck. Exercise at least 4 times per week. Write in my journal. Cook one new thing every month.

I admit, this whole caterpillar business is a bit Silence-of-the-Lambs-y, but it's completely fascinating (if a bit yucky). Plus, I know this is one of those things that my kids will always remember doing which makes it worth it. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Under the pier at Huntington Beach, April 2007.
