Feeling lousy
I feel like I am getting my first cold in over a year. I do not want it. I usually do my writing between 9:00 and midnight. But tonight I am going to bed to try to fight this thing. It is difficult to teach percents to 3 classes of 12 year olds who really don’t want to learn percents. It is especially difficult when it hurts to talk and you have a slight fever. So why don’t I just stay home if I’m sick? If you think teaching while sick is a bummer try getting ready for a sub when you left a mess on my desk and I can’t think of good sub plans. I’ll be back!

Stay home anyhow!!! Let the sub figure out something. Show a movie. Do sudoku puzzles. Color mozaics. Make get well cards for the sick teacher. Go outside and count the leaves on every bush, tree, and flower they can find. Count the floor tiles. Measure the hallway. Put them in groups and have them figure out their own darn percents. Give them a *gasp* free day. Find the volume and surface area of every 3D object in the room. Write and essay on what they believe a mathematician looks like. Draw a picture to go with the essay.

A cold? Oh, Honey, that's no fun. Stay in bed today. Eva has some wonderful suggestions for the sub! You need to take care of you, everything else will take care of itself.

PK, is it alright for me to describe a maths teacher as a hoot? 'Cause she is, on top of which she's right.
ReplyDeleteI'm sending you love, healing and a giant healing hug.
Warm hugs,
Paul.
Hope you're feeling a bit better today because you stayed home as recommended! Eva's got some killer ideas there. Take another day off and roll with it.
