Today.

Right now I am:

Reading: Milk Stone Moon by Adriana Trigiani

I picked up a copy of Big Stone Gap about two weeks ago to read on my planning period. Yes, I sometimes just read on my planning period- it recharges me. Anyway, I had NO idea how in love I was about to fall with Ave Maria. I sped through Big Stone Gap and Big Cherry Holler and am now fully immersed in the lovely third installation of Ave’s story. I CANNNOT recommend this series strongly enough.

Writing: the second chapter of a silly young adult novel

I try regularly to write. I dream of writing a novel and I try. Often. However, I never feel connected to what I write and I am not someone who can force it. The other night I jammed out a first chapter that I am actually happy about. We’ll see if that feeling lasts.

Planning: a complete unit about Elie Wiesel’s Night

For the two weeks after the EOC, I am planning a literature unit covering Night. I think it will be nice to have an opportunity to simply focus on the literature and relax the focus on grammar and standards.

Looking forward to: my husband’s graduation

My husband is finally wrapping up his Master’s degree this weekend. He has worked so hard for so long and I’m so proud of all he has accomplished over the past two years. And I’m not going to lie, I am SO excited to have his schedule ease up so we can actually spend a little time together.
