No Sleep 'til Summer:. Teaching ESL, parenting bilingually, sleeping rarely. About Me: where life, learning, and love grow. November 23, 2012. So, why was I worried every time I stepped out of my room to let a cluster or sub teach them? Why was I scared about what would happen to them in middle school? It wasn’t until I became apart of the Learning Cultures. How can they learn it through real practice and independence, which requires them making mistakes to learn from? Where is the rigor? 8221; That one ...

Mildly Melancholy: your future
http://mildlymelancholy.blogspot.com/2012/11/your-future.html
I am not a teacher anymore, but I'm still an educator. Tuesday, November 06, 2012. Dear A and B,. Today is Election Day. You don't know what that is yet. (Really, you don't know what anything is yet. That's not your fault though.) You did sort of participate though- I completed my mail-in ballot last week. It's not as exciting as entering a voting booth and pulling a lever or completing and scanning a ballot, but it still counts! Rock your civic duty! Labels: letters to twins. View my complete profile.

Mildly Melancholy: Babies!
http://mildlymelancholy.blogspot.com/2012/12/babies.html
I am not a teacher anymore, but I'm still an educator. Wednesday, December 05, 2012. I realized that I never posted over here that the twins did arrive! I had a c-section on November 21, there were no complications, and both babies looked great: Emmett (Baby A) on the left, and Malcolm (Baby B) on the right:. Today they're two weeks old and doing well. They are super cute and we love to snuggle them. They sleep pretty well so far, so we'll keep them. :). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Mildly Melancholy: ebb and flow
http://mildlymelancholy.blogspot.com/2012/10/ebb-and-flow.html
I am not a teacher anymore, but I'm still an educator. Wednesday, October 17, 2012. My grandmother- my dad's mom- passed away this morning after a couple days in a coma. She was 95 years old. Mister M and I visited her the week after our wedding two summers ago. I'm sad that she's gone. But I know too that she's not suffering anymore, and that she certainly had a long and good life. The sadness is now with us who are left, to remember her and her spirit. My condolences. May her memory be a blessing.

Mildly Melancholy: Wandery.
http://mildlymelancholy.blogspot.com/2013/05/wandery.html
I am not a teacher anymore, but I'm still an educator. Sunday, May 12, 2013. We need some things at the store. *I* need some things at the store. I feel lazy and don't want to make the effort to leave the house. I want to go because I can't stand the thought of water without lemon juice, which I'm almost out of. To be, in short, mildly melancholy. Instead, I drive the store. A city is great for nights like that. Oh, how I will miss living in one. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Other Blogs to Read.

No Sleep 'til Summer:. Teaching ESL, parenting bilingually, sleeping rarely. About Me: where life, learning, and love grow. November 26, 2011. Bilingual Parenting Ain’t for the Weak-hearted. My husband and I want our daughter to be exposed to several languages now that she is young. Too much research supports this, but it’s also a personal necessity; half her family speaks English only, and the other half speaks only Spanish, and still others who my husband grew up with speak only French. I haven’t...
