Surviving 4th Quarter

There's No Time for a Title

I once thought about writing a blog for teachers on how to survive fourth quarter. A survival manual for teachers, particularly new(er) teachers like myself. I realized, there is no such thing...

The STRUGGLE IS REAL Middle School Teachers! 

Keep Calm

Because

the 

Countdown 

is 

ON! 

-I will write again if and when I survive.

2.0.1.5 Readolutions 

-By: Ashley Thomas

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” 
― Dr. Seuss, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!

I understand that as a normal citizen of Planet Earth, I am obligated to create "New Year's Resolutions" that will last until December 31st of every year. Therefore, I decided not to use the monotonous 'exercise' resolution or 'eat healthier' blah, blah, blah...because I don't want to set a goal that I KNOW I will fail. But rather, set a more reasonable goal of a 15 book reading list for 20-15. Here it is:

1. (Finish) "The Giver" by Lois Lowry

2. "The Death Cure"  by: James Dashner

3. "The Kill Order"  by: James Dashner

4. "The Testing"  by: Joelle Charbonneau

5. "Independent Study" by: Joelle Charbonneau

6. "Graduation Day" by: Joelle Charbonneau

7. "The Martian" by: Andy Weir

8. "Sun Stand Still" by: Pastor Steven Furtick

9. "Paper Towns" by: John Green

10. "Unbroken" by: Laura Hillenbrand

11. "Where She Went" by: Gayle Forman

12. "Looking for Alaska" by: John Green

13. "An Abundance of Katherines" by: John Green

14. "Crash the Chatterbox" by: Pastor Steven Furtick

15. Re-READ "Insurgent" by Veronica Roth

**Bonus**- The Bible--every day!
