Breathe in, breathe out. Everything is going to be just fine. Your students will come in with the work done because, well, you saw them do it in class yesterday. Finally, it's time to test out the zipline. It's time to put 12 hours of lesson planning into motion.

So apparently I don't blog enough. Perhaps it's because I'm too busy. Even more, it's because there's so much to say and no clue how to phrase it. Sam Patterson convinced me to share what I'm doing in my Engineering, Robotics, and Design elective class, so here it is.
My job is incredibly awesome. I teach two classes of algebra 1 to a motivated group of kids, then get a conglomerate of IEP, Special Ed, ADD, GATE, 7th, 8th, and everywhere in between kind of kids in my engineering class. All in all, this class was set up for complete failure. The class was designed to enhance the algebra 1 curriculum and support kids who were craving the Project-Based Learning that every student should be exposed to on a regular basis.
With the slew of varied levels in each of the two engineering classes, you'd think that there would be a ton of problems. However, it's the most intense 51 minutes of each kid's day. In this class, we are going full steam ahead (pun intended, I guess). Choo Choo. |
