Pecans! - Lesson Plans - Get Over It!!

Everyone in my familia knows how much I love pecans. Yesterday, I went to Austin for some other business and of course, went out of my way to pick up my annual bag of pecans. I say annual because since 1997 when bought me a bag of pecans from Berdol's, I have gone back every year to pick up a bag 5 lbs or 10 lbs of pecans.

Every year I have promised J I would bake him a pecan pie but noooooooo I continue to eat all the pecans before I can bake that pie. Well, this year I picked up 10lbs of pecans (choctaw, yes, pecans have names too) and I plan on baking that pecan pie to set on our dessert table on Thanksgiving Day! I know this may sound weird, but as you already know (and you should know by know)...I am a weird person...I don't like pecan pie! I'm not sure what it is but I don't care for the pie.

Okay, now I've got to get going with my lesson plans. I attended a workshop on how to build vocabulary in science but I am going to use these ideas in all content areas. I am so excited.

On another note...on Thursday night I was up watching the news when they were breaking for a commercial, I heard them mention DISD more specifically....my school...B. Well needless to say, I stayed up to listen. It was not good. In fact, if we could hold a trial for the teacher or person who did what they did, they would be tried and found guilty of sabotage and treason. Apparently, someone inadvertently threw out some materials that are still under adoption and instead of bringing it to an administrator's attention, they took pictures and sent them to the news! Great move....not! What a low, slimy move...It not only makes our school bad but it makes the entire staff of great and excellent teachers look like we don't know anything about teaching.

It was personal and if the guilty culprit(s) say it wasn't personal maybe it wasn't person to him/her/them but it was personal to me and all the other teachers and administrators who are working hard at building cohesiveness and achievement for our students who have always been the center of my attention. So, guilty person(s) if you are reading my blog....stop....build a bridge and get over it...better yet....jump ship....leave....evaporate...adios...GO! That's all I'm going to say about the subject.
