I feel less guilty admitting defeat and moving on if I do decide to throw in the towel, after reading what you thought of it. Love your blog and will definitely investigate further. <BR/><BR/>Two blogs I write, one for my library and the one for Identity Theory I contribute to weekly are both on blogger, as well. I like Blogger but it keeps disappearing on me periodically! Not sure what's up with that. <BR/><BR/>But I like your blog!Lisa Guidarinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07976652734686730456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-1156917850389427512006-08-30T00:04:00.000-06:002006-08-30T00:04:00.000-06:00When I first saw this book on the bookshelf.

I guess I prefer looking at headless bodies.Framedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13703547279309902320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-1156557218037712282006-08-25T19:53:00.000-06:002006-08-25T19:53:00.000-06:00Thank you for teaching those children. It takes a...Thank you for teaching those children. It takes a special kind of person/teacher to take on children of need and I bet you have received many rewards for doing so. Many happy thoughts are being sent your way as you begin this school year. :)<BR/><BR/>As for me...yes, we closed 7 elementary schools! I used to work for another district (6th grade middle school/math and science), then moved to this district last year. I worked as a part-time learning specialist. Virtually I worked with students that didn't qualify for special services, but were failing. I mainly worked with 4th - 6th in the area of math, but also created an enrichment storytelling club for 3rd - 6th. School begins after Labor Day this year. Unfortunately, I may have to sub for a while. UGH! I'm hoping something opens up asap.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00832231139076878401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-1156555086844267052006-08-25T19:18:00.000-06:002006-08-25T19:18:00.000-06:00Joy, I teach a study/life skills class at the high...Joy, I teach a study/life skills class at the highschool. Until last year I taught Biology. Starting this year I only teach 2 classes every other day. My students are all youth-in-custody, either foster children or on probation. So what age group do you teach? Has school started for you yet? Good luck with the call back. Is your district downsizing?Bookloggedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651016653247142255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22500980.post-1156549315226130682006-08-25T17:41:00.000-06:002006-08-25T17:41:00.000-06:00Bummer!

I am as well, but I'm laid off at the moment. :( I'm #7 on the call back list. So it's still a wait and see game.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00832231139076878401noreply@blogger.com
