SOOOOOOO I've been taking my one masters class and doing pretty well in it. I have to write an essay about every 10 days or so. My last essay took my prof forever to grade and I was getting paranoid that it sucked. I know you won't understand the details of this "feedback" my prof left me but you'll get the gist... summed up it basically says "you're awesome". Here's my 'feedback'...
Grade : 15 out of 15
Comments : Bryanne-The purpose of Assignment E is to encourage you to think about what should be about teaching rather than what is. We go through life being told to “be realistic. Take things as they are.” In many instances, this is good guidance. Yet, in teaching, if we are not careful, we succumb to “what is,” to the “real” and give up on the ideal, such as facilitative teaching and life-long learning, ideals to be sought, if never fully achieved. Your essay "Imagine" had a singing quality. I thought of John Lennon's song, "Imagine" where he asks us to imagine a world where everybody lives in peace and harmony. Ah, ha, you're using a metaphor to develop your subject, facilitative teaching, by way of the two metaphors and what they mean to you. The story about your Grandmother (sage on the stage) and Mother (Guide on the Side) was right on target. Also, two of your colleagues in the class mentioned experiences with their children and how they were challenged to put educational theory into practice in the real world of family. Needless to say, this is your best essay! Well done. Dr. Garcia
Yeah. I'm awesome. haha.
I'm about to go register for next semester. I cant decide if I'm going to take two or three classes. Do I want to get done w/ this masters program in 3 years and go senile in the process or get done in 3+ years? Hmmm... that's a tough one.
OK. Enough about me and back to my regular blog about the kids...
We just took a road trip to IL for faux thanksgiving and it was a doozy! Grant no longer sleeps well in the car. Both to and from IL he only took a 20min nap and woke up SCREAMING. Why? I have no idea. But it was not fun. And I can't get in the back seat easily... the car seats take up so much damn space! So I have to squeeze my ass between them and have my body turned to one side. That's comfy! But thank God for the car DVD player!!!! That was seriously helpful!
Grant is seriously a genius I'll have you know. He was playing w/ those letter magnets you put on the fridge and I picked up the letter G and said 'do you know what letter this is?" and he goes "G for Grant". I was totaly impressed but decided to try another letter... I picked up the letter E and asked if he knew what that one was, he said "G for Ebony". Okay... it's not a G but he knew it was an E b/c he said EBONY (a girl in his class at daycare). I picked up the letter J and he said "G for Jetta" (another girl in his class). I picked up the N and he said "G for Noah". So he was stuck on the letter G but he KNEW what each letter was for names of people in his class! He went on to say "G for Sammy" when I picked up the S, "G for Hunter", w/ the H, and he did the letter R as well but I forget what the name was. Anyway... this is some impressive shit for a 2.5 year old you know!!! He talks better than most 3 or 4 year olds and the kid is about ready to start reading for Pete's sake! haha. So... that was more bragging. :)
Penny looks really cute in a dress. :) That's my bragging for her. haha. She'll be a genius too. A well dressed one.
