Learning

"Our Kids Are Worth What Ever It Takes" is the phrase that i have been chanting with over 200 teachers for the last four days. I have been attending a conference with about 13 other teachers from the district in which i teach. Although it is a long time to sit on my butt, especially when i am not used to sitting all day, i am getting wonderful ideas that challenge my thinking, but match my philosophy. This is the second time i have attended this conference and I am getting more from this time. I hope to apply a lot of what i am learning this year and i wanted to start doing Literacy Work Stations in my classroom. . . and i am moving to a new classroom. There is way too many new things this fall, but i am excited. I am excited to help more of my students be successful. I feel motivated and challenged. I still have four more days, so I think my mind might explode by the end. We will see!
