Writing Goal

I haven't spent much time on my blog lately:(  I've been pretty good at getting the Workin' On It Wednesday link up posted each week, but not much beyond that. So, one goal is to write at least three times this week. I'm going to branch out a little from just classroom topics, and share a bit about other things. Today's topic - my puppies!

This is Lily "posing" for the camera. My daughter likes to say that she's modeling. She has the greatest personality - so friendly, attentive, and curious. She watches TV with us and shows such an interest in what's happening. Below, she's chewing on a "skull" toy that they've had for years....there's just something about it that she and Oreo love. There can be three other toys around, but they'll "fight" over this one.

Lily and Oreo love to cuddle....often times, she'll crawl right on top of him to lie down- or on me, or on whoever is available - she's so funny!

 Lily is 7 and Oreo is 10, and they are the most affectionate dogs. They literally follow me everywhere I go, except upstairs, because they aren't allowed. They know where I am though, and they wait for me at the bottom of the stairs...

Oreo was our first dog as a family, and he was such a wonderful Boston that we had to have more!

They are fantastic pals!

    You have such cute pups! I have one dog, and some times I wonder if she would like a companion, but then my husband points out that we'd have 2 shedding dogs among other issues. I'm definitely going to link up on Weds. - although I'm on vacation this week. Hey, Happy Birthday! My younger son's birthday is the 21st, and he's 21 - not a bad age.

      Thanks! Our dogs don't shed too much, so it's not bad for us. I hope you will link up on Wednesdays:) Happy birthday to your son!

Help Students Learn to Manage Their Time

In my early years of teaching, I didn't always know what to say when students told me they didn't have time to do their homework (other than something like, "You must have had some time between 4:00 and 9:00!). There were all kinds of reasons - they had sports practice or a lesson, or they had to go to their brother's or sister's game/practice/event of some kind; or their parents took them shopping or out to eat. At that time I had one child (who was 2 when I started teaching), so I didn't have the experience from a parent's point of view of making sure I was getting my kids to their activities, getting done all the house-related things, and also making sure they were getting their homework done. This made it a little difficult for me to relate to the students' situations, but I tried to help them think about how much time they did have to do their work. Being involved in activities definitely reduces time for schoolwork, but it doesn't mean t...
