Feeding apple pies? To whales? What?

Ok, let me explain.

Remember in our meeting when we said what a good idea it was to start a blog so we could talk and think and then talk some more?

Maybe it's better if I show you what I mean:

go here and watch THIS

just a note: once I get home, this blog will become pretty and the above link will actually BE A LINK. Just sayin'.

Update: DONE!

  5. You going nuts? I thought I added a post, it didn't post, I created yet another new password and WROTE IT DOWN and taped it to the inside of my desk drawer like I do for my kids who can't remember their locker combos, What video? I need some differentiated instruction! I'm not quite sure that I'm OK with teaching 1 credit English courses for a number of years, but am not considered able to create my own curriculum in order to meet the individual goals that are established in the IEP. Is that because sp ed has never been included in any curricular considerations.
