Is this a disease? Sunday, November 18, 2012. What Would Benjamin Franklin Do? This semester, I've been teaching an American Literature class using this really difficult text ...

Me and The Peace Corps. Resources for Teaching English. Saturday, March 9, 2013. Unforgettable: That's Where We Are. My seventh form students congratulated me on Women's Day on the 8th of March. They hovered over my desk and asked me, "What presents did you get? I pulled about six chocolate bars out of a bag along with a dragonfly magnet, a dish towel, a princess eraser, a small bottle of perfume, a card shaped like the number 8, and a Valentine's Day mug (An afterthought, perhaps? Strangest thing of all...

Adventures of Series: Back
http://kerrymarino.blogspot.com/2014/06/back.html
Me and The Peace Corps. Resources for Teaching English. Friday, June 13, 2014. A lot has happened since being back. I worked at the YMCA for a brief time in their Beat the Streets Program where I had an arts, craft, and music table. I had to leave that super fun job, though, because I got accepted into the New York City Teaching Fellowship! And students at school, and ups and downs, and hey, we'll still have Friday nights, right? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Kerry Marino is a High School English T...

Me and The Peace Corps. Resources for Teaching English. Monday, September 30, 2013. The Final Countdown But Not The Venus Part Or The Final Part. I just looked up a countdown generator and I don't know how I feel about it. It counts down the seconds, minutes, hours, and days to any date. I thought about getting one for the day I return to the states after Peace Corps but I just don't like the sound of a bunch of numbers that add up to zero. Also, what if I get Alzheimers? But still it's farewell. All ove...

Me and The Peace Corps. Resources for Teaching English. Monday, February 4, 2013. Where did January Go? Well, I'll tell you. Но, я вам скажу! Then, January jumped over a good friend's birthday party and into a freezing lake the next day where we "washed away our sins" (or maybe just our fears) for Jesus' baptism, or Кришение (video to come). January, you conquered yourself and faded into February, but I won't forget you yet. Photos taken by Nastya and Sasha Telikova. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The conte...

Adventures of Series: The Attack of the Idea People
http://kerrymarino.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-attack-of-idea-people.html
Me and The Peace Corps. Resources for Teaching English. Wednesday, October 23, 2013. The Attack of the Idea People. Occasionally, I get ideas. We're getting the band back together! Is it too late to become an astronaut? I feel like a cartoon character with spinning stars around my head. I've been hit by the reality of the future, the end of my Peace Corps service, and the beginning of "the next step." It has caused an explosion of possibilities, ideas, and dreams and choosing one seems unfair. Kerry Mari...

Me and The Peace Corps. Resources for Teaching English. Thursday, October 3, 2013. What's Not to Miss? I've already written about how everything I do is potentially the last time I do it. A friend of mine wonderfully put it like this:. I'd like to not be sitting on the toilet. In tears the last time I take a crap in my apartment but I can tell you for sure that that is exactly what is going to happen.". Labels: appreciating good and bad. Ending peace corps service. Saying goodbye to material things.

Adventures of Series: Давайте Play: Balancing Work and Play in the Classroom
http://kerrymarino.blogspot.com/2013/10/play-balancing-work-and-play-in.html
Me and The Peace Corps. Resources for Teaching English. Friday, October 25, 2013. Давайте Play: Balancing Work and Play in the Classroom. This is not a "how to" post because I haven't exactly figured out how to balance work and play in the classroom. I've been at my school for two years and because I am the first American and Peace Corps Volunteer there, I still get giggly "hellos" and even "avtograph" requests. I know, I know, I'm awesome, right? We have 9 classes left and you want to be noisy? Давайте ...
