...crawl into a hole and die. Or at least find a cave and hide.
I'm taking 19 hours this semester. Yes, 19. And no, I'm not at the graduate level. I'm still working on my undergrad. Oh, and I'll be reading 10...yes, TEN...books this semester. Actually, if I were to be completely honest, I'm only going to read part of them. There's absolutely no way I can do ten at one time. I might have read 14 books in July, but I read one at a time, and they were fluff reads.
Reading isn't all I'll be doing.
I have journals to keep, lessons to write, a classroom management plan to construct, an integrated unit plan to create, reflection papers, expert presentations, discussion groups(as the facilitator) and 300 hours to log in my field placement classroom.
I know I'll make it through, but right now I'm not sure how. It's an insane amount of work. Really, who thought this was a good idea!?!
I would have take one or two classes this summer and gotten them out of the way, but I had to take 9 hours...which is 3 hours over full time in the summer. And I wasn't taking important classes. I took Math 130. It was a waste of my time.
I just want to fast forward through this semester...

Hi-- you asked about lapbooks-- I would google the word and you will see there are more links than you will have time to look at! There are How-to tutorials posted on YouTube and many blogs showcasing the work-- I think that making lapbooks in class with kids would be fun-- or at least a neat project to introduce for your school classes. Blessings on your schooling--
I noticed your comment on Marybeth's blog and thought I would stop in to tell you I just posted about a lapbook we created as a Get Well Card for my mom. Most lapbooks are more academic, though, and are good for reinforcing skills as the kids will look back through them time and time again. (Imagine having your students create a posterboard all about a subject they just learned, but this one can be held in their laps and stored easily as a keepsake.) I also have an Olympic lapbook post if you look back through to my July posts. Also www.homeschoolshare.com is a wonderful place to find free lapbook instructions and lesson plans. I agree with Marybeth that lapbooking would be a lot of fun in a classroom setting and I've heard of teachers using them as well.
