What do I feel most proud of in my teaching this week? Why?
I am proud of the fact that I am still learning new things on a daily bases. I am particularly proud of the fact of being able to pick up my lesson after a short break(MLK) and the kids return as if they were actually listening. Makes me feel proud that they retain lessons and are able to have meaningful discussions in class. When kids respond to my lessons it makes me feel like I am getting a few things right. I feel like I am getting into a "small" groove with my classes and I can offer a tad bit of knowledge to someone else.
It is nice when you can come back after a break and miraculously, they retained some info from before you left. That is a nice feeling!!!
ReplyDeleteIt IS nice to find that "groove," isn't it? I felt like that last week. And this week is starting to fall into place too.
ReplyDeleteI like getting my "teaching groove" on! Ha! Ha!
It is always nice to come back and feel like a previous lesson "stuck". That is a sure indicator that you are "doing it right" and your students are "getting it". As for the " groove" thing -are you from the Disco Days? Sure sound like it, and that is pretty scarey. Dallas who? Dallas what? Oh, my !
