High Frequency Word Game!

My mentor teacher suggested this to me. I used it, not knowing how it was going to work, and was pleased with the results. My students loved it. It’s so simple. The way that I was doing it in the beginning had begun to get boring. So, at my mentor teacher’s suggestion, I had them stand up and gave them the rules of the game- get the word or sit down basically. They really want to win. I guess I underestimated their competitive spirit. As we were finishing, a couple of my students said, “Man, I really gotta’ study now. I wanna’ win!”
I love it. So, my students copied them down on index cards that clip onto their chairs. This is what they take out when someone unexpectedly shows up in the classroom and I need to talk to them.
It’s working out. I’m happy about that.

Just Going To Rest And Take It Easy!

After that smart stunt last night, I have wisely decided to rest and take it easy. I am elevating my foot as we speak. Even though it’s hard for me to slow down, I am going to do just that or my body will do it for me!
So, until next time!

What Was I Thinking?

What I was thinking? I don’t know! I asked myself that question as my throbbing toe told me that I shouldn’t have even tried it. What did I try?
I tried walking around IKEA! IKEA of all places; as big as it is. Why am I acting like I don’t have a broken toe? I thought the pain was all in my head, but about a quarter of a ways through the store, I realized it wasn’t. I couldn’t wait to get out of there. It seems like it took forever. I vowed that there would be no more IKEA for me until my toe heals.

Never again!
