[LIT] building background knowledge...and Caroline

[FineArt11 at aol.com]

hi caroline,
that is what i thought you meant by the '5 minute' thingy.  like my  
technical terms?  lol  i was just checking...curious to see if i  missed something.
 
i am getting my doctorate in curriculum and instruction because my  
university does not offer a reading doctorate.  i have talked to some of  the 'powers 
that be' and they assure me they are trying to hire professors that  can offer 
the classes by the time i will need them.  this is a slow process  for me as i 
teach full time at a high school and part-time at the same  university and i 
conduct research and work on grants and i am working on this  year's reading 
book adoption committee for our school district.  so....i  can wait...just a 
little while longer.  in the meantime, i am taking the  required courses for any 
major.
 
this  year's research will probably be the beginning of my thesis, so  i may 
actually have most of the writing done while i am taking the  coursework.  
 
as far as grading goes for my district, we are required to submit one grade  
a week.  i try for 2 or 3.  last year was difficult because i had so  many 
students.  i hope to have 50 less this year (crossing fingers and  toes...just in 
case).  :)
