Halloween 2008

We survived another Halloween. The whole goal this year was to get a "manly costume." Wayne did not approve of me dressing Hunter up as a lobster last year. So as Halloween rolled around this year, and I headed over to Toys R Us to get a costume, the last words I heard as I walked out of the condo was. "get something manly." So I wondered around Toys R Us looking for something "manly". In the end, to his father delight Hunter was Chewbacca this year.

We started our evening by stopping by Oma and Papa's house. Hunter was busy sweeping while we attempted to take his picture. We then headed over to Uncle Kyle's house to check out the decorations and met up with Kodie and Landon. All and all it was a great night, and Chewbacca was in bed by 9pm.

Please send homework assistant...

In T-minus fifteen days, fall semester at the University of La Verne will be coming to a close for the holidays. To say the least I have so much stuff to do, I can hardly stand to think about the reality of the situation. The situation is that I am not aloud to be on the computer during the day ( Hunter detests the laptop), so I am left to doing homework between the hours of 8:30pm to 12:00am. Last night after Hunter went to bed, I worked steadily on prepping a lesson, and completing a lesson plan in time to present it this morning at 8:15 in front of a teacher sent out to observe me from the University.

In attempt to organize my thoughts, I am listing what is due and when so every time I sit down to look at other blogs I am reminded of what needs to be done.

EDUC 464- Introduction of the Teaching of Reading (Monday Night Class)

• Finish entrees on online discussion board called Blackboard, the good news is that I have 4 out of 5 done already (due November 10th).
• Reading Comprehension lesson plan #2 plus three page write up (due November 3rd).
• Silvaroli Classroom Reading Inventory , I have already tested the 4th grader now I need to finish the write up (due November 10th).
• Fieldwork Logs , where I record what I have seen during my observation hours , I have 5 out of 10 logs done (due November 10th). The logs are about a half a page each.
• Complete Reading Resource Notebook, plus 1 modification for each of the 35 strategies in my notebook. In other words, I have to show how I will make modifications for students who are struggling with a given strategy. I wish you could see the size of my notebook , papers are busting out of a 3' binder (due November 10th).
• Prepare for final exam (November 10th)

EDUC 474 - Teaching in Content Areas (Saturday Class)

• Three lesson plans (due November 15th)
• Visual and Performing Arts Lesson plan , plus sample of project (due November 15th)

Wow, now is that a list and a half or what....... The good news is that I am this way at the end of every semester , and some how some way I always get it done and walk away with an A.
