“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” (William Arthur Ward)
...ME! i know, take a deep breath, sit down; i am going back to teaching; yes they let me be in charge of the minds of our youth, ohh yet again ;|...& i accepted...the new adventure has begun, you are now reading the blog of a high school, American Sign Language Teacher (i know it is CRAZY)...after being away from teaching, i realized how much i missed it, i LOVE education, it provides a whole new world of knowledge and when you are really interested in a topic it makes learning about it that much fun (& yes if you are wondering, i have always been a dork, i just mask it by my cool quirkyness)...
...this new adventure comes with some fun -- i get a new classroom, i am teaching a subject i LOVE to big kids; a population i also enjoy, i am in a great district, i am working with some great people, i get to learn and play & just live in this moment of teaching...
...this new adventure also comes with some "AHHHHH" moments -- i am in a new district, in a BIG new building, with BIG kids that sometimes can smell fear, i still have no idea what the year or even the first week of school will look like, i really don't know anyone & i am the new kid; but with the "AHHHH" moments i am still living in the moment that is teaching; of having an "AHHA" moment that will blow the "AHHH" moments out of the water...
...so with all the moments of the adventure; i guess i am just looking forward to what comes next...
schools back & so am i...
Congrats!!!! Now that you are even CLOSER to me, you'll have to come over for dinner sometime!!!
