#reflectiveteacher - 9/8 - Close Reading My Desk Drawers

September 8, 2014 in Theory & Policy

Note: I am participating in a 30-day blog challenge as part of Reflective Teacher Month at Teach Thought. I am looking forward to learning more about myself, my pedagogy and my colleagues.

Day 8 Prompt: What’s in your desk drawer, and what can you infer from those contents?

Warning: This could get scary.

At least, it would have if I had not had to spend most of my evening grading papers.

As it is, I'll keep this short and sweet: Lots of office supplies, lunches that don't require refrigeration, Band-aids, and other odds and ends that one might need.

That's it. I'm going to bed.

Good night!
