South Miami

Here I am...

in South Miami.

For five days.

When I check into my hotel room,

I never unpack.

I live out of my duffel bag.

But this time,

since I'm going to be living here...

it seems like forever...

I went ahead and unpacked.

When Soni came to visit,

she unpacked.

I laughed at her.

So, Soni, I unpacked.

LOL

It's a nice hotel.

With a Red Lobster and McDonald's

right there in the parking lot.

I'm set!

I'm learning how to use the new

technology for how to get my students

registered without paper.

(Except it turns out I need paper...)

We take care of that for the first

10 minutes of the class.

Then for the final 10 minutes we call roll

and do a little paperwork.

That's all I'm here to learn.

Which means I get to then spend 10 hours

in the middle listening to her teach

the same stuff I teach and have been teaching

for the last 18 years.

Snore.

Except I LOVE watching other teachers!

This particular teacher is a kindergarten teacher

in her "day job"... which makes her pretty entertaining

to watch.

I have my computer open and am

jotting down notes of fun stuff she

does that I might want to incorporate

into my class.

There's a lot that I know I'll never

do - it's just not my style.

But it's still fun to see how other

people do the same thing.

Anyhow.

(I also downloaded a couple of books

to my Kindle... lol)

Bet you're jealous!

My life is SO EXCITING!

HA!
