Writer’s Block
May 17th, 2008 by Mr. Miles
I haven’t really been posting as much as I’d like. It’s been crazy in my little world. So I suppose I’ll just give an update on the goings on in my world.
I finished my first graduate semester at Georgia State. I finoished with a 4.0 which is great. I have my sights set on an Ivy League PhD or EdD program once I’m done with the Master’s at G.State.
I’m almost done with my classes for clear renewable teacher certification in Georgia. God willing, I’ll be done once I wrap up this Linear Algebra and Calculus II class over at Georgia Perimeter.
Work is bananas. The kids had 5 days to go and it’s all the staff can do to keep the fights to a minimum. I’ve had some success with teaching my 6th graders integers and graphing on the coordinate plane. I think the students who aren’t showing progress in those areas have really just shut down mentally.
I’m currently addicted to George A. Romero’s “Dead” movies right now. I downloaded Diary of the Dead last weekend and this week I’ve seen both the 1968 and 1990 versions of Night of the Living Dead.
Like I said….I have writer’s block. Hopefully this little exercise will release a flow of creativity…or at least motivate me to try to put something on paper ( or wordpress ) again soon.
