Silence in the classroom...

Right now it is almost completely silent in my fourth period classroom. All of the students are reading for "My Topic Time," my version of Sustained Silent Reading. I just finished my book The Gods Themselves by Isaac Asimov. This is one of those awesome moments of teaching. Everyone is reading quietly, and honestly, this is the best I can do for their reading level.

The book I read was decent, but had too many open ended parts for me. The conflict of the third section seemed overwraught, but otherwise, the book was enjoyable. Mostly, I'm typing right now because I can.

Alright, students have started talking, I suppose I need to re-inforce silent reading some more.

Also, because Tisa is pretty much the only person who will read my blog, I'd like to say hello to my darling wife. Hi my love, hope your day is going well.
