Today is my birthday. It was an ordinary day. I'm on spring break but that doesn't mean much because there's always something to do. My husband and I ran errands. Later, our niece and nephew came by. We celebrated with cake and ice cream. I don't need much for my birthday. All I want is family and friends around. I know it may sound strange and like I'm being modest, but it's the truth. So, talking with my daughters on the phone, and spending time with my son and my husband is the only gift I want. All in all, it was a good day. I even bought a Mike Wazowski for myself! Seriously, though, I'm grateful for what I have and that's all that really matters. Source: http://monster.wikia.com/wiki/Mike_Wazowski Cross posted to Two Writing Teachers Tuesday Slice of Life .
This blog is a place to ruminate on the problems of teaching. If I am thinking thoughtfully, my posts will hopefully raise more questions than answers. By problematizing teaching we reflect on those questions that are constantly behind, in front, and at center of everything we do in the classroom. Feel free to comment. I'd love to hear what other teachers are thinking about on these and other issues. Cheers! Elisa
