This was yesterday's lunch:

From the snack bar, tomatoes with scrambled eggs, steamed mushrooms and broccoli, and kung pao chicken with rice, washed down with a cup of bubble tea. All while getting schoolwork done on the computer.

I eat pretty much every lunch at my desk in my classroom but I hope to get out of that habit when we move to the new building in April. It's nice to get a lot of work done or just put my feet up and listen to Tchaikovsky. Sometimes is nice to not have to talk for awhile.

My goal with my ELL students is to get them to talk more but some days that works better than others. Today's lesson on Hinduism in ancient India was a pretty one-sided conversation. An earlier lesson with my first graders about Green Eggs and Ham was much livelier. Every day has its ups and downs.
