This is my 11th year in the classroom. I’m almost finished with 1/6th of the school year and I’m feeling better than ever about how my classes are going.
My students are producing a lot of great work and I’ve got it displayed on the walls throughout the room. I don’t know…maybe it’s the room change, maybe it’s having a good mix of classes, maybe it’s just me getting older. The days are flying by, rather than dragging on. I have remained on top of everything, not putting things off until the last minute. I look forward to the next day and what interesting things will happen.
Now, this is not to say that the previous years have been terrible (although there have been some not so hot ones…different story though). It’s just that there’s something different about this year. I’m planning great lessons, incorporating technology often, and having productive classes. I’m applying for grants in an effort to pull in some great equipment (weather station, telescope…just to name a couple).
Who else is with me on being energized with the new school year?
