What, really? More changes...

If you have been following my blog journey, then you know that next year will be an adventure due to my move to the new middle school. However, that adventure just went though some changes. I was slated to teach 6th grade math and science next year. However, as of Wednesday, my new adventure will now consist of 7th and 8th grade science!
I'll be honest, I was taken aback when I first received the invitation from the middle school principal to make the switch, and it was an email that I needed to read through a few times and really ponder. My teaching partner and I had already done some of our prep work for next year, and I've been familiarizing myself with the 6th grade standards and curriculum on my own. However, the email explained that filling this open position would be beneficial to the school and students, so I took another leap! I was really looking forward to working with my new teaching partner and putting into practice the prep work that we had prepared. But, when really thinking about the new invitation, I figured that since I was already making a switch and not fully into the new position, why not make this additional change, especially if the principal feels I would be a good fit.
So it's back to the drawing board. Time to get in touch with my new colleagues in 7th and 8th grade to learn about the curriculum background and dig deeper into the middle school science standards. And why not? There's still half the summer to learn the new ropes...

What Day is It?

 Did you ever have one of those weeks where every day kind of bleeds into the next, and by the end of the week you have a hard time remembering what you did on certain days prior? That's how I'm feeling right now. I would say that the main reason for this is that I'm sitting in an empty classroom every day. Even though the students are at home, teachers are allowed to work in their classrooms (assuming that they don't have any illnesses or have been contact-traced). We do have the option to work from home, but I felt that I would get more accomplished at school (fewer distractions :-) Now that the assignments are starting to roll in, it has definitely been helpful to have the quiet time at school to manage grading and identifying what is missing. However, I would much rather have a classroom bustling with activity (as most teachers would). So, even though I couldn't fully remember what happened on what day, looking back at my lesson notes has helped, and it was a pr...

An Epic Fail (and a Recovery)

So, I usually post my blog on Thursday nights (sorry this one was late, but I was REALLY tired last night), so with all things considered (with teaching in the world of COVID), my post for last Thursday made it seem like the first week of school wasn't too bad. Then Friday came. And it was time for my science lesson (not that I'm actually into my science content yet--we are still working on launching procedures with the students). If things could go wrong with my science time on Friday, they did. It was an EPIC fail.  My focus for launching procedures with the 5th graders has been centered around using Canvas, our online learning platform. On Friday, my lesson was about showing the students the different ways that they could submit an assignment in Canvas. My hope was to show a short video over the Google Meet that we had going so that we could use it as a jumping-off point to discuss procedures. Well, the volume levels in the different classrooms didn't really jive well wi...

Just breathe...

I'll be honest, today was a tiresome day. My students seemed more amped up than usual. So I tried something today that I haven't been able to do with my class in awhile--mindful breathing. I had attempted it several times last year with my class, but I had several boys who seemed to make it their mission to get their classmates to laugh during our mindful breathing sessions. So after some reflecting, I decided it was best to not offer them an audience. But this is a new year, and a new group of students, and I don't really have those attention seeking entertainers, so I thought it was worth a shot. In my daily schedule, we have a TRIBES/Mindfulness time to allow for community building opportunities and moments of reflection. This time period is right after recess, so I figured some mindful breathing might be good for them to cool down a little. When the students came in from recess, I put on some music from the Nature Sounds channel on Pandora. I let that softly play...
