I think I forget, in my own heated misery, that they are also hot and tired.Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13309915942161862912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7363356760450940988.post-77160569450569112782013-08-28T17:02:19.665-04:002013-08-28T17:02:19.665-04:00These are great points.

We can't all be the teacher that every kid wishes to get in class and will work a million ours to impress.<br /><br />It would be nice though.<br /><br />Also, I forget that "I notice, I wonder" can apply to me as well as my students.

If your last period was able to be persistent and self-directed on day one, then you wouldn't have anyone to teach how to be persistent and self directed. How sad! In June you'll be able to look back at them and be like, "remember when you wouldn't even draw more than two rectangles, and look at you now!"<br /><br />Just think of it this way... "I notice you're having a hard time staying on task." You get to notice! "I wonder why the heck you can't manage to draw more than 2 rectangles" How fun, now you're wondering too! "I wonder, dear student, what we're going to do with you..."<br /><br />Um also -- it kind of sounds like you had a rockstar day overall. Maybe you could just have your last and first periods swap.<br /><br />And I'm 100% useless at helping you with your new goal. Nothing I put on a wall ever stays up. Even screws and nails tend to fail on me.Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16935784635103701185noreply@blogger.com
