Enjoy! Don’t forget to cool down and stretch. Watch the video (which includes more detail) HERE.
Did this for a measly 3/14 workouts - though being sick is the primary reason for the low number. I’m hoping to squeeze in two tomorrow.
If you’ve never done this workout, it’s quick and heavy-hitting. I used this clock to keep track of my intervals.
If you’re a fit teacher, bookmark that video or reblog this post for reference. 15 minutes and done? Excellent.
Meet Mr. Camouflage, one of the special stars of sea life in the Lembeh Strait. I literally said “Whaaaaaaaat the f…” when I saw that amazing color change.
Isn’t evolution grand?

I have two more days with students and I just keep thinking, “I think I can. I think I can.”
Also, I found out today that my Anatomy class has been approved to receive duel credit through a local college branch! Now I have an even better explanation when students ask why my class is so difficult. I thought I would have to take some extra courses or something but my 55 credits of undergrad Bio and 13 credits of grad level Bio paid off!

Random Fact
I use receipts as bookmarks. When I was a kid, I used gum wrappers for this. Maybe this is what people call growing up.
Red sky in the morning, sailor’s warning.
This is probably my dad’s second most often made comment. He finishes it, though, with the rest of the statement. ”Red sky at night, sailor’s delight.”

Teaching...Every Day is Different: writteninthekitchensink: It cracks me up that a bunch of teachers...
It cracks me up that a bunch of teachers organize and play rounds of Cards Against Humanity, one of the most vulgar, politically incorrect games ever.
My students can barely grasp that I know who Eminem is (much less know some of his music), yet here I am answering…
My seventh graders were shocked that I knew what the n-word meant. They also were surprised that I didn’t vote for Mitt Romney though…
My kids are surprised that I know what memes are. Hello? I am your technology teacher. This means I spend time using said technology!
Mine were shocked when I yelled at one of them for throwing out the shocker symbol in class. Their excuse for doing this was that they didn’t think I would actually know what it is.

Lists
The things I finished so far today:
- 3 loads of laundry
- reading the fourth chapter of my PR textbook in two days (3 yesterday, 1 today).
- writing four separate response papers for the case studies at the end of the PR chapters.
- submitting the four response papers to my online masters class.
- writing 2 of the 5 finals I will be giving and grading this week.
Things that still have to be finished before I can sleep:
- write at least 2 more of the finals to make the rest of my week that much easier.
- write study guides for the 2 finals I’ve already written.
- find a good dissection guide for a sheep’s eye online so I can save time in the morning.
- e-mail all finished items that I need at school to my work e-mail so that I can print it all and make copies in advance.
