I found this (slightly dated) gem second or third hand (from jo's journal originally, I think), so I thought I'd at least post it. I'm a sucker for memes, and while I am positive I will not get to all of these, its might be fun to have handy. Feel free to grab it if you. like!

Welcome and onto the steppes...

Back at it today, though yesterday was a weird schedule - we were on a 2-hour delay. Zthe kids are not quite as feral as I expected, which is nice! Then again, we aren't out of the woods - we have the looming threat of NTI (online learning) at some point this week, and another storm possibly around the end of the month.

There are several new folks here, and please let me say WELCOME! I know I have not gotten to respond to all of you in person yet (I pretty much got home from school and was out cold by 6-ish?), but I will, and I am SO glad you're here!

This week we started on the Mongols. It's a fun unit to teach, and it leads nicely into our upcoming coverage of medieval China. Of course, I had to introduce the kiddos to the Mongolian metal band, The Hu. If you haven't ever seen them, check them out below!

(Not sure if iframes still work here; I guess we'll see!)

So who's on DW these days?

I know I do this from time to time, but as more folks migrate over here/there (crossposting makes relational adjectives a dicey proposition) I want to make sure I don't lose anyone.

I'm not leaving LJ, but I am trying to be on both regularly, so if you're on DW, let me know!

Things I need to remember:
• Asking for help is not, as it turns out, fatal.
• Laughing is easier than pulling your hair out, and doesn't have the unfortunate side effect of making you look like a plague victim.
• Even the biggest tasks can be defeated if taken a bit at a time.
• I can write a paper the night before it's due, but the results are not all they could be.
• Be thorough, but focused.
• Trust yourself.
• Honesty, always.
