Back to school one-pager

The adventures of a good book 📚 💕

Back to school one-pagers. So many students really put forth effort. These were done with my substitute teacher. I’ve just recently returned to the classroom because I was out on sick leave. Day 2...a bit tougher. Still have arthritis stiffness. Blah.

Some days you wonder if you’re making an impact at all. It’s emails like this that buoy me along. 🤗🤗🤗💕💕Couldn’t have come at a better time. I’m not crying you’re crying.

So true! It’s almost 3 months now and I’m not at a point where I’m pain free. I still have pain, it’s just in a different area now.

I’ve been on sick leave since the beginning of the school year. I had hip replacement surgery and there have been complications. Basically I can’t sit for more than 15 minutes without my hips and back stiffening up. I think this is because of my arthritis and the swelling. I went to the classroom yesterday night to prepare and after just two hours I was in pain and exhausted. I’m heading back to the classroom Monday. I hope and pray I can last the day without too much pain and stress. Sigh 😔

So I abandoned Throne of Glass because I hate omniscient narrators and it’s just not well written. So far this one is much better. It’s challenging and transportive.

Can’t wait to start this novel. It’s supposedly a cross between Game of Thrones and Hunger Games. Have you read it?

English teacher humor 😆😆

We are veteran teachers and we have a wealth of information! How many years have you been teaching?
