Well today I had another chance to work on my TLLP project.
I started by creating the slideshow I will be using during the Professional Development session I will be leading. I HATE making slideshows. I get frustrated. I bang on the keys! I tear out my hair! It took me 2 hours to create about 15 slides. Nuts!
After that I spent a few hours working on the handouts I will be giving the teachers to guide them through the process of becoming comfortable with the idea of Mentor texts.
I have to admit, I got a lot done and I felt proud of all I accomplished. This is a nice feeling, since as a primary grade teacher I often feel like the day slips away from me and I don't accomplish much. This could be because my grade 2 kids still need help opening their thermos, tying their shoes and want a band-aid for every little boo boo!
