Pressing the Pause Button

I meant to be a better participant in the last #flipblogs challenge, but...well, you know...life.

Since my last post, life has led to some unexpected changes.

I am on leave.


The week before Thanksgiving was my last week in the classroom. One of my former students is covering my leave.

Things have felt very weird, but I'm beginning to settle into my current "normal."

My videos now have a new use, as I am sending links to my sub so that she can see how I would approach content. She has posted my videos for test review, and she would also like to post my videos for students who have been absent.

I have many goals for my time at home, and some of that includes reflecting on and learning how to improve as a teacher when I return to the classroom. I have joined Angela Watson's 40 Hour Teacher Workweek Club (I can dream, right?) to work through her material and make plans to improve efficiency.

I don't know what I'll have to blog about in the next few months, but who knows? I might have something I want to talk about from time to time.
