March 2010

March in Chicago always holds the promise of more snow, rain and YUCK!  March is also Intersession time!  3 weeks off from the responsibilities of being a classroom teacher.  Time to cuddle up with a few good books and write some reviews!  So, although I'll be teaching two classes during the mornings of my first week off, I'm hoping to be able to get to all of the books on my shelves that need to be read! 

My students are actually motivating me to get a lot of reading done over intersession.  I have one student who has already read more books than I have this year and another who is quickly catching up!  I plan on gaining a lot of ground over break.  But, I must say, I'm quite happy my project is inspiring the young adults I work with!
