Day 2

I managed to remember all of 2nd periods names( small class) and make up a song about each of their names at the beginning of class.  It was a happy improvisational accident and hopefully the students are figuring out that play and creativity are a large part of learning in my classroom.  

I was soooo tired from Day 1, that I wasn't sure what was going to come out of me- words, I mean words.    SO I have already learned a lot and/or have been reminded of  many important things.
Green and growing...I want to always be green and growing as a teacher.  Hopefully it will rub off on my students.

Reminders:

• I need a full nights sleep to show up the way I want, they way my students deserve me to show up..
• always put my equity cards from the last class away before next class starts....

A-Ha's:

• My principal really is way smart- I mean way.
• I have fifth period prep- I don't have to eat that fast!
• when I doubt pulling off a 20time project, I am doubting my students and lowering my expectations of them( large because biggest a-ha of the day, possibly year).
