Two full days, hand out some report cards and call it done.
Where did the year go?
I noticed that the last time I posted, I was trying to get my ducks in a row to implement the CCSS.
That was a crash and burn.
I tried something new, and while it looked terrific on paper, the execution was something else again. Luckily, my students were gracious and second semester was much smoother. We still worked toward mastery of the standards, but in a format that was a little more familiar.
Change is never easy, but I've learned that sometimes we can make it easier on all concerned if we ease into it.
One of the changes I want to make this summer is a commitment to more disciplined writing. There's that novel that needs finishing and this blog that could use some attention. And I built a website that ALSO has a blog that's directed toward my students. Oh! And that in depth study of I John I want to do and journal.
So much for easing into things, but that's OK, it's just not my style anyway.
