And before I really forget

Just to add to the question of the week (this goes along with my post from 10/1), I think I felt reconnected or should I say "plugged back in" in once Dr. M left. His visit reminded me of my purpose as it relate to my students. I sometimes forget that I am no longer teaching adults therefore I must scale down my methods for my "babies". I've realized that if I "Chunk" the material allow the kids to help out more, they learn more and in turn I learn better...a better approach for keeping them involved, engaged and alert.
