Friday again? Already?




This time of year sure gets busy for teachers. I have to make a real effort to balance work/life, and housework comes a poor third! Public Education Week is coming up, reports are looming, so we are doing a lot of reflecting on our teaching practice. I took a lot of informal, unposed pictures of my class over two days to use for a "A Love of Learning" poster (the theme of Ed.week). When I looked at them on the computer screen, I was struck by something I've never noticed in the hurly-burly of each school day - every child was engaged in their work, happy, on task. Sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees!

They really do look engaged and interested in what they are doing. I suppose this means a quiet classroom? It must be wonderful to be a motivator for these kids and see results. The most important job in the world!

Not only do they look like they are enjoying learning -- just look at the work on the walls! FANTASTIC!! You must be proud, and they are so blessed to have you in their lives.
