Wit and Catharsis: Iron Fist in a Velvet Glove
http://generalchemistrylaboratory.blogspot.com/2007/01/iron-fist-in-velvet-glove.html
Wednesday, January 31, 2007. Iron Fist in a Velvet Glove. This weekend on the crowded subway, there was a man standing in the middle of our car peddling women's gloves. They were black and velvety and they had a ring of leopard fur around the cuff. Very retired-woman-chic. A few old women shoved past me to plunk down a few bucks so they could look like a million. As the train continued down the line, the crowd grew more sparse. I stood and watched two old men sitting next to each other. They were. By thi...

Wit and Catharsis: Mall Walkers and Mother God
http://generalchemistrylaboratory.blogspot.com/2007/08/mall-walkers-and-mother-god.html
Thursday, August 02, 2007. Mall Walkers and Mother God. Since March, I have been accosted countless times by a group of proselytizing maniacs that lie in wait in every convenient and neccesary place - shopping centers, buses, parks, restaurants, subways, and train stations. Most of the crazies do not speak any English, yet they have been sent out to target Westerners. Those that can speak English are deceptive and misleading. This is an account of my favorite, and most awful encounter with them:. Make yo...

Wit and Catharsis: Power Ranger Magic Force
http://generalchemistrylaboratory.blogspot.com/2007/03/power-ranger-magic-force.html
Saturday, March 17, 2007. Power Ranger Magic Force. You may wonder what exactly I do at school, so I will show you:. That's right. I draw poor pictures of "Powah Lay-eenjuh Majeek Posuuh" for little boys. Sure, we. Supposed to be discussing what a slide cover is and how to measure an earthworm, but the Red Ranger was just so much cooler. I think 3rd grade children are the most perfect. They are old enough to be a lot of fun, but not old enough to give you a hard time. March 20, 2007 6:53 PM. View my comp...

Bobby & Katie: "For me, coming back to school means..."
http://777porterhouse.blogspot.com/2010/01/for-me-coming-back-to-school-means.html
Monday, January 18, 2010. For me, coming back to school means.". I've had a rough couple of weeks. there was school situation drama, then more drama, then a quick and easy solution and then even more drama! I'm anxious to see what the next few weeks bring. I wrote up a kid for the first time EVER last week, which kinda made me sad, but in a way made me feel like there was hope. Most of my discipline books say "removal is the best strategy" but I don't have anywhere to "remove" the kids to! Speaking of le...

Wit and Catharsis: Sleep RX
http://generalchemistrylaboratory.blogspot.com/2007/05/sleep-rx.html
Friday, May 18, 2007. I have been awake this Saturday morning since 6 am I don't know why. I'm just awake. I'm pretty sure my body is slowly reverting back to U.S. time because I doze off almost everyday in class around 3 or 4. This is possible because I teach "listening comprehension," which means I put in a tape and am allowed to stop working for a few minutes. Though I sit just across the mini-table from them, mere inches from their faces, I have developed several techniques to make my nap time.

Wit and Catharsis: Report Cards.....C+
http://generalchemistrylaboratory.blogspot.com/2006/09/report-cardsc.html
Thursday, September 07, 2006. Last week, I had to make my first report cards. For the little kids, we aren’t allowed to give any criticism. We can only write positive comments, and sometimes you really have to stretch it. There’s quite a difference between what I wrote and what I was actually thinking. Ellen is a sweet girl and is fairly attentive. She tries very hard to learn new material, and with continued hard work, she will progress quickly. I wanted to write:. I wanted to write:.

Bobby & Katie: Student teaching memories...
http://777porterhouse.blogspot.com/2009/09/student-teaching-memories.html
Sunday, September 20, 2009. I found a journal entry from when I was student teaching today. it was from the days I was subbing by myself and the kids watched The Newsies. The answers were pretty funny, and I just couldn't help but share them. February 12, 2008. Why does a man chase Jack with the police? The police chases Jack because he is a refugee. What happens at the end of the newsies rally? The popo comes and they run. Why doesn't Crutchie want to leave the Refuge? Crutchie likes being a refuge.

Bobby & Katie: My brain hurts.
http://777porterhouse.blogspot.com/2009/09/my-brain-hurts.html
Tuesday, September 29, 2009. Pray that I get over this crud soon. I don't ever stop, so when my health forces me to, it gets me all bent out of shape. Oh, and I'm teaching art AND music now. Yeah. That's fun. I passed my test so hopefully the other lady passes hers so I don't have to switch schools at semester. That is, after all, why I'm teaching art. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
