Do the Math

It is Easter Sunday, the last day of Spring Break. I was just reflecting on the school year, getting excited and ready for tomorrow, and catching up on some reading when I came across the perfect blog post that summed up my views on management (including administration, school boards, and my time management).

This was one of the best posts that I have read in a while. I suggest any teacher, administrator, school board member, or involved parent read it before embarking on a the next planning phase (including but not limited to: fourth quarter lesson planning, future of the district meetings, or even your family’s schedule for the upcoming week).

I took a lot of time to reflect this spring break. I took the time to update and organize my classroom because I had the time for once and because it is re-energizing. I called the project “Two White boards and a Smartboard”

People always say to stay away from school for spring break, and I think this is usually good advice, but for this spring break all I wanted to do is get reorganized, rejuvenated, and excited for the last quarter that I get spend with the exceptional group of eighth graders that I have had the pleasure to teach this year.
