It's been SUCH a long time since I have blogged, and this blog, one that I was so excited about, seems to have whizzed off the "back burner" into a black hole. I completely forgot about it until this morning. Well, I'm not perfect (although sometimes I like to think I am), and there's always a new start. Today, Spring Equinox, seems like a good time start over on this blog and really put my heart into it. I love teaching so much, and now I want to become better at reflecting on my teaching and sharing my experiences with others.
Today is the third day of our State Testing (NMSBA), and while it's going well, I'm exhausted! My colleagues and I were talking about how funny it is that we're so tired, even though we're just walking around NOT talking, but watching our kids, making sure all regulations are being followed. I find myself wanting to do something--read, grade papers, email, anything but walk around in circles. But, it's just for a short time, and at the end of the day, I get to have an hour with a different group of kids each day making art. Yay!
How are you State Tests coming along?
