I keep finding myself in this weird world where I lie to myself and coerce my brain into believing that I am all caught up. Then, reality hits me in the face. The most recent casualty has been my Creative Writing class. I love them dearly, but I keep forgetting that they exist. Furthermore, I actually have to have them do things.
I say this and it seems like I don't ever do anything academic with them. That is not true. We get to do fun stuff that is also academic and my hope is that they really enjoy my class. Still, it doesn't erase the fact that I keep forgetting them! Most of the time, I find it hilarious. To be fair, I really enjoy this class. Most of the time they are on task or at the very least respectful and receptive to re-direction-ing.
I know I am not alone. I know that lots of teachers get behind. Mostly, I've just enjoyed how even though I've been behind, we have still been able to do some cool things. We have done poetry, short stories, plays, built lego creations for technical building and written letters to past and future selves. It is kind of awesome to see the span of creativity we get to experience. My biggest regret it that I didn't take pictures of the lego creations to show here.
Alright. I'll probably post again for Thanksgiving. Thanks, as always, for reading.
