I always knew all of my teachers were waking and baking and then scrambling to put together a lesson plan while sucking down a Marlboro menthol in the faculty parking lot during passing period!

A quick glance at Google Trends finds that some of this morning’s top rising searches are (shameless SEO alert!) “Earth Day Facts,” “Earth Day Word Search,” “Earth Day Lesson Plans,” “Earth Day Coloring Pages,” “Earth Day Activities for Kids,”  “Earth Day Writing Prompts,” “Earth Day Activities for Kids,” “Disney Earth Movie,” “Earth Day Games,” “Earth Quotes” (Help Me! I’m melting! What a world, what a world….),  “Earth Day Reading Comprehension,” “Earth Day Scavenger Hunt,”
AND – for those teachers who really didn’t do their homework before coming to class today:  “Earth Day 2009 Date.”

It’s the same day every year, BTW.

Also, major kudos to all you teachers out there with no respect for copyright laws who are searching for a free copy of The Lorax online. Educators after our own hearts….

Almost all these dubious last minute searches for classroom time filler in between YET ANOTHER No Child Left Behind-required test peaked right around 9 AM eastern time this morning.

So I no longer feel guilty about doing my Calculus homework in class, 5 minutes before it’s due. Maybe now the dreams will finally stop, or at least maybe I won’t be in my underwear anymore.
