"What was the event this past week that most took me by
surprise - an event where I saw or did something that shook me up, caught me
off guard, gave me a jolt or made me unexpectedly happy?"
This week has been a great week for me. The reason being is
that my school system is on fall break. This week has been a wonderful week to
relax and take a break from work. This has been the first week since school has
started that I have actually had free time that did not just revolve around
school and school work. In regards to the blog question I did get good news before
we were dismissed for fall break. I found out that I got approval to go to the
New Teacher Conference in Macon Georgia. I am honestly excited about going and
learning new techniques to try in the classroom. I really feel like I will benefit
from this conference. I hope to learn
better classroom management skills. I feel like I really need help in this
area. I also hope to learn how to better lesson plan. Lastly, I hope to find
new resources to use. I have a really difficult time making engaging lesson
plans for my third level class, so I hope to find some new resources.
Building curriculum is very difficult. I have basically tried building mine from scratch and it is very time consuming.
ReplyDeleteBut I think I am in a pretty good place at the moment. I have so much more to use now than I once had, but I am nowhere near where I want to be.
Good luck... Building your class is very hard, but the reward is so great, I think.
