I have NO idea what is going on with me... I am not usually this "tired" before March... next week only marks the end of 1st quarter!
Been taking care of myself...working out, watching what I eat, taking vitamins, etc... It still is not keeping my work from taxing my resources though. Two cups of coffee has absolutely no effect on my fatigue...
Is there anyone else fighting this so early on in the year? How do you combat it? Any advice would be welcome...
Anyway...
On the homefront, we are constantly striving to "hit" the mark and make it so all kids "get it"; I am currently working on conflict after working on foreshadowing... plot was easy enough, but 7th graders have difficulty locating foreshadowing clues... we reworked the lesson... and it was so much fun! Students had to act out the foreshadowing scenes from The Landlady; talk about enjoying a lesson! I have had so much fun with these kids... they are filled with energy and creative genius! Now to be able to reflect that back to them so they can all relish the learning experience...
