Here They Come...Around The Stretch
I, too, must comment on what is upon us for the next month and a half. This past week I have not been at a condo in Florida or a Spa in the Carribean. But I have gone camping with my daughter and roller skating with her too. I have a game plan for the rest of the semester and I have every intention of surviving it. Am I pleased or satisfied on how I have performed as a teacher? Not on your life. My class observations from Jennifer Mims and my principal, Chris shaw, have gone well. But, I am my toughest critic. I hope at the end of May I can look back and ease up on myself. These blog entries from my fellow NTI students/friends have been an incredible assest to me as a teacher and a human being. They will continue to carry me through the end of the semester. If you've finished your spring break..... I feel your pain of getting back into the routine of teaching. If your break is coming up (Lin), please enjoy it and get some mental rest.
It's good that you spent at least part of your break with family. Last year I made the mistake of trying to play catch-up during the break and didn't allow myself any time to recharge for the home stretch. You're also not alone when you say that you're your own worst critic. I think that one of the best things about this blog is reading other posts and realizing that you are not alone.
ReplyDeleteJim,
ReplyDeleteBlogging this term has been truly destressing for me - getting stuff of my chest. It has been great!!
