Let the Paper Prototyping BEGIN!!!!

Yea!  My kids have FINALLY started their paper protoyping....I feel like we are so far behind.  I have had such issues in the two labs that I use this year, and unluckily, things are still not fixed.  I have no sound in one lab, so it is very hard to show the videos and tutorials.  I was able to switch labs on Monday, but today I had to talk through the paper prototyping videos.  I have talked with out tech guy many, many times and finally e-mail him Monday night and asked if I needed to ask for outside help...still no sound.

                                                                        
OK - I will try not to focus on the negative part - I will focus on the positive part - my kids have started their paper prototyping.  This is where we can really see how their games will work - or if their ideas are really valid.

Willl I ever get caught up?

It seems that I spend my life trying to catch up.  My friends and family say that I am trying to do too much.  Maybe so.  I have not even taken any of my H&R Block classes so that I can work this coming season.  WHEN will I be able to squeeze that in?  I teach, I stay after school until 5:30 helping with Credit Recovery, I am (trying) to be a mentor and all that encompasses, I take H&R Block classes all Fall and work for them January through April 15, I walk my dogs every morning and every night, I try to go out once a week with my boyfriend....  It seems that time is running too fast

WOW!!! A new year

Here it is - October the 11th and I am just getting back into blogging....it has been the CRAZIEST beginning of the year that I have ever had  - OK....this is just my third year teaching :)  But it is just unbelievable that it is already half way through October.  As I take my "new" dog for a walk in the evening - it is dark by the time we come home....
Even though I have been very busy, school-wise, it has been a GREAT year!  It seems that every year gets better.  I have super classes this year - usually there is one or two classes that are not your favorite, but this year I really enjoy all of them.  When I have a substitute, he even comments of what great classes and kids I have this year.   FINALLY......
