Here’s the twenty-fourth installment of the Boil Your Day Down into One Sentence fun-tacular! Each week I’ll ask for these sentences and each week I’ll post them along with links to the authors’ blogs.
Let’s call this week the Magical Mystery Tour Edition — where I’ll leave off the names of the authors, and simply embed links to related or eye-catching posts on their blogs. You’ll have to do a little exploring this time around.
I am on vacation, yet my thoughts are saddened by the very public tragedy at Virginia Tech, not just because of the horrors that those students went through, but because I am reminded of the small tragedies that my young students go through every day that don’t make it on the news. :(

The week has zoomed as we wrapped up two texts, had a short day on Monday and a field trip Friday to see A Dios Momo and hang out in the Village.
It’s been a strange week for me and probably for all teachers, with the killings on a college campus, it’s bad enough in a war, but in a place of learning, how can that be?, then the floods and of course, my private challenge with my guitar in shaking hands, performances for my small groups…all in all, a tough week, we need some sunshine.

I continue to love the work I’m doing in the world of our digital storytelling web. It will be cool to be meeting face-to-face with my DS collaborator, Kevin, next weekend at our website workshop sponsored by the National Writing Project. Their challenges are amazing!
Jumping through my final hoops in completing my Masters of Mathematics, my professor comments, “I know it’s frustrating, I went through the same things during my comps.” and I challengingly replied, “Do we as teachers have our students go through the same frustrating experiences because that is just the way the system is?”
Week off from school … and finally, some sunshine and warmth here in New England, and my kids are out playing baseball in the yard as I wait for the sound of a window crashing and ball falling into my lap … the anticipation of Spring arriving with a bang!
Students rising to help the survivors of a terrible tragedy fill my heart with pride and my eyes with tears.
A beautiful spring day in New England closes out what was a busy April vacation; yet my portfolio is nearly completed and teaching job packets have been mailed…finally, it is time to breathe again.
Testing is over; no more bubbling, no more coding, just waiting for the final results and looking forward to the fifth grade field trip next week!!
I feel like I bleed time, not a trickle easily wiped away, but a gushing, open wound, which seems as though nothing but death could end it!
wow. what an amazing metaphor! with no time in herself, this author did not create a new postsince last week — but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t revisit one of her posts (where the comments section has really taken off, and the discussion is alive and healthy)
Making the first week back from Spring Break into “school spirit week” was good for student morale, but bad for academics.
A new school term begins tomorrow. The anticipation.

So there we go! Another Your Day in a Sentence down and yet another week coming up. Expect another call for sentences in a few days.
Thanks again to everyone who participated — you get me out reading your blogs when I otherwise don’t have the time, or when I forget.
