I don't know about any of you, but prior to our block that begins on Tuesday, I have spent three days straight sitting in front of my computer attempting to create a unit for 4/5 mathematics as well as 4 Social Studies. Here is what I have come to realize during this time:
1) I will never feel the wind on my skin ever again
2) My eye sight is only going to last a few more months if this keeps up
3) Pre-Service teachers should also reap the benefits given to certified teachers - ie. massages. We are doing the same work after all.
4) Wanting to make models of every assignment you give your students will cause you to have no life, no boyfriends, and no contact with the outside world.
5) I skip meals by accident. This is against everything I believe in.
Moral of this weekend is this: No matter how much work you have to get done, take a BREAK! Watch a movie, go grocery shopping, call a friend. ANYTHING. And this is why it's so important for us to have socials during our block. It's all I'm saying...

Ahmen!
surely it's too cold for you to be going outside, anyways?!?
Currently feeling your pain and can completely relate. I feel as though I live in the chair where my computer sits. I fully expect to spend my summer computer free, enjoying the outdoors for a change.
On a more positive note, the students seem to appreciate the work you put in, at least they did in my grade 1 class. I wonder if I will feel the same way after grade 5/6???
