Brrr, hello COLD! It's so beautifully blue and crisp outside now, with sunshine that makes every color pop. But frigid. And Scot wants to sleep outside tonight! I told him I'd join him, but just because I know I can always come back inside if/when I freeze into an ice cube. If nothing else, dealing with the cold will get me in the mode for our planned snow caving outing next weekend.
Hey, guess what, I got the research paper done. It "only" took 10 hours! My brain was fried last night, but I still elected to study for my next Praxis test and read a compilation of first-person narratives by "GBLT"s. Homosexuality is an issue that I just don't know how to deal with. I know it's probably not politically correct to even talk about it here, but it's on my mind. I usually push this issue out of my mind, since I can never come to an easy resolve. But I'm not naive - I know I will have to address it in the classroom. Respect is really, really important to me, so I want to establish respect in the classroom and be able to discuss any issue with respect. How best to be prepared?
I do not think I could get myself to even consider sleeping outside for at least a couple more months. You are a brave girl!!
ReplyDeleteI think this is the perfect forum to discuss things we are wondering about. Especially things that will come up in the classroom. Just remember it is not our job to judge others, it is our job to teach tolerance and acceptance. Every kid is looking for acceptance for one reason or another. All you have to do is give it:)
