A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down...

Two of my students were out sick today.  One has strep throat, the other is just feeling ill.  It's really hard to keep them at the same level as the rest of the class and avoid having them fall behind.  I can't imagine what it would be like to be sick as a teacher, feeling ill and still having to plan your lessons for a sub.  Never have I been more happy to live in the dorms!  All the exposure to people and their germs must have bolstered my immune system; I think I'm the only student teacher who hasn't missed a day from being sick.  Let's hope I can keep it up!
