Day 20 of SOLSC

Day 9 of Spring Break-
Dear Mother Nature, 
Please don't trick me into thinking that spring is right around the corner with 2 weeks of 50 and 60 degree days. I'm very surprised as well as upset that in the last 24 hours you have decided to give us a present of 4 inches of snow and the forecast calls for snow throughout today and tomorrow. I had my hopes up that the last couple of days of my spring break would bring sunshine and warm weather to enjoy with my family. I hope that this is the end of the snow in Kansas at least until November. Don't get me wrong, I love the seasons. But, winter is over and I'm tired of the snowy weather.
Thank you for your consideration.

    How fun that you tired a letter today! I notice that mini-letters as facebook statuses are popular lately, too. It is always more fun when the letter is to an unexpected recipient.

    I, too, find myself writing letters to Mother Nature (usually as FB status updates). I hope she listens to you better than she listens to me!

Day 8 of SOLSC

It seems like whenever I get something going, I tend to get tired of it quickly and it loses it's novelty. Well, exercising is no exception. Our school started this Biggest Loser contest with other schools in the district to see which school has the biggest "losers" that lose the most weight overall. So, I entered it about a month ago and had been pretty good about eating better and exercising 3 times a week for about 45 min to 1 hour. As a result, I have only lost 3 pounds. I'm not sure if it's just water or really 3 pounds. I'm a little blah about the whole thing so I decided to have a heart to heart with myself.  I said, "Self, you should just get up and do it! There are many great activities that are fun and will keep you interested. Don't forget that spring is right around the corner and now there are even more opportunities to be outside. You know you love being outdoors! So, stop being lazy and think positive! Reinvigorate yourself and start f

Day 27 of SOLSC

So, I love to read and I like to spend some time every weekend devoted to reading. I just finished the 9th book in the Sookie Stackhouse series (what HBO's True Blood series is based on) and I am sort of stuck on what to read next. I also just finished my teacher's book club book "Same Kind of Different As Me", which is the complete opposite of vampire books. I love reading chick-lit but I also try to balance genres. As a result, I'm looking for an array of titles or series to get into next and expand my reading horizons.  Any ideas?

Day 2 of SOLSC

Have you ever been immersed into a new and unfamiliar culture and language? I never had an experience in which I have felt so out of place and lost and I'm not sure how I would handle not knowing any of the language in which I'm surrounded by.  Last Wednesday, I had a new student from Haiti that joined my class and spoke only French. As a teacher with 5 other ELL students, I knew that this would be a challenge but all my other students had come into my class knowing at least some English. When I told my students, they all said, "We are so lucky Mrs. Sloan, we always get new students!" I must admit I was nervous about what I would do knowing that I don't speak any French! So, I knew that he would feel afraid and uncomfortable for a while, especially coming from such a demolished area,  trying to grasp at what he could. What I didn't know is that in only 5 days, he is now saying greetings to classmates as well as asking partial questions about things that he
