Back to Normal...

I feel just about 100%, which is right in time to go back for round 2 this Thursday. I have been running around trying to get work done and trying to get everything ready for another week of, maybe, not feeling so hot. I'm assured that I really screwed up my meds the first time around, so this time should be much better!

We did our first little bit of work for Pearson Publishing and they put it on their website. It's kind of a promotional video for their textbook, but it also shows a video my students created. Their video is great, so if anyone is interested in seeing some of my kids at work, check it out. You'll have to fast forward it to the end, unless you wanna know more about our district and our ELL population. My friend Sara and I appear at one point to introduce stuff, and beware I look like a serial killer on video! I'm serious, we were cracking up when we were making it because I really do. You should have seen the first few takes, I was even worse!  I now know I would fail miserably at acting. I mean look at my face when trying to listen to Sara talk. I look like I'll jump out and hurt someone! It really is entertaining, so feel free to laugh, because that is what I'm doing... and it feels great! But at least my students are naturals!

The video is about Pluto, so you might learn something as well. Let me know if you do! :)

  3. You guys must be doing a good job because those two students in the video sounded like native English speakers to me. ~Lisa Ruskanen
