My first day at my new school went very smoothly. I loved meeting my new kids and they all genuinely seem interested in doing well.
We had a lot of great conversations about books, and even some really fun conversations about music. I found a fellow jam band lover, so that made me happy.
Tomorrow we hit the ground running with annotating Articles of the Week (appreciate it, Kelly Gallagher) and start working on Six Word Memoirs.
None of the stuff we are working on came from my time in higher education. I learned about Articles of the Week in a book written by Kelly Gallagher (and I found out about this book from Twitter). I learned about Six Word Memoirs from Twitter as well. It's amazing what social media has done for educators.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow. How many people can actually say they can't wait to get back to work? Being a teacher means that I can always do something better, or faster, or make some process go more smoothly. I just love how every day is different, but the same.
I've found my calling and my prayer is that my students will find theirs.
