		<title>Success? Failure?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Often, at the end of the day I come home and think about whether my day was a success or a failure. Whether I am a success or a failure as a teacher and whether my students succeeded or failed today. The people that know me best would tell me that I am being to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tjordan.wordpress.com&blog=1833511&post=415&subd=tjordan&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Lest We Forget</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today is Remembrance Day&#8230;today I am thinking about how thankful I am for the people that protect this country. Thankful for the men and women that choose to enter the military, protect and fight for the rights of people around the world, and defend what it means to be Canadian. I appreciate the sacrifice that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tjordan.wordpress.com&blog=1833511&post=408&subd=tjordan&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Hard to find the words&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been looking at my computer for almost two hours now, wondering what it is that I should write about. There is so much, yet so little to say. I know that might be hard to understand, but have you ever felt like no one could understand what you were talking about even if [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tjordan.wordpress.com&blog=1833511&post=406&subd=tjordan&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Sick, like bad!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know that makes no actual sense but for the last week I have been pretty sick. I know that some of my family reads this blog and I wanted to let them know that I made it back safely and that I am finally starting to feel better. No worries&#8230;TJ can take care of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tjordan.wordpress.com&blog=1833511&post=403&subd=tjordan&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Seventeen grade 8 students, one teacher, one week.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yep, that is pretty much the jist of what it took to get my homeroom class set up with their own blog. I wanted to do blogging with my classes for a number of reasons (in no particular order):

My students are reluctant writers. Actually most of them are reluctant students. I thought blogging would be [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tjordan.wordpress.com&blog=1833511&post=396&subd=tjordan&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Shelfari</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have created a Shelfari account, both for myself individually and for my classroom. I still have a lot books to add to my individual shelf but eventually I will get there. I am disappointed that WordPress does not have a widget that allows Shelfari to be on my blog. Blogger does allow this though, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tjordan.wordpress.com&blog=1833511&post=391&subd=tjordan&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>One of those days!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It definitely was one of those days&#8230;nothing seemed to go right and as the day went on things got worse. I started the day at 6:30 or at least I was supposed to. Add in a bad decision to hit snooze for an hour and I was already behind the eight ball. When I finally [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tjordan.wordpress.com&blog=1833511&post=384&subd=tjordan&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>What music can teach us&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am teaching a Physical Education 9 class with one of my colleagues. On paper the class has 41 students&#8230;today, because of math remediation, there were only 6 students.

Relationships can be [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=tjordan.wordpress.com&blog=1833511&post=376&subd=tjordan&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
