First Week of School

There is nothing more exiting to me than the first week of school with students. Just walking around campus when students arrive fills me with the energy I hear and see. Smiles are copious, and laughter waves through the air. In my classroom, each student starts the year with the drive and determination to do well in school. You can see it through the small tasks they complete or the raised hands that are anxiously waiting to participate. These small moments with my new students motivate me to keep their energy and excitement levels elevated throughout the remainder of the school year.  This is what fuels me to overcome challenges and take risks in my classroom.  Each minute I spend focused on my classroom is for them: my students.  So of course it is fitting that I dedicate this next school year to them!  I promise to do my best each day so that their learning needs are met, their enthusiasm to learn is high, and that they leave me better prepared for their futures!
Highlights of the Week in Room 15:
1) Team-building exercises, including my favorite "Move the Water!"
2) The newly installed "Find Inspiration" window with a new inspirational quote each week.
3) Student Acceptable Use Policy presentations: they demonstrated the importance of being safe while utilizing technology.

Growth

My one word intention for 2015 is growth.  As an educator it is essential that I provide the best instruction and experiences for my students.  In order to achieve this, I know that I need to continually grow both professionally and personally.  Keeping my focus on the word “growth” will help me improve my lessons, progress on the SAMR model, and continue to meaningfully connect with my students on daily basis. When I reflect back on writing my teaching philosophy as a new teacher several years ago, I remember pondering growth and stagnation.  I knew that I never wanted to become complacent with my teaching style, curriculum, or role as an educator.  I made a promise to myself to always focus on moving forward and becoming a better educator throughout my journey.  I want to keep up that goal by consciously focusing on growth each day in my classroom as a teacher and outside of my classroom as a I prepare and create for my students.

Happy to Be Back

A lot has changed since my last blog post: location, career, and family. Location Last time I posted, I was living in San Jose, California and now today I am living in Orange County, California.  I loved my time in San Jose, while I was able to meet great educators and make life-long friendships, but nothing beats living in your hometown with your family. Career You will notice that my previous blog posts were centered around my role as a classroom teacher, and these were some of the best experiences of my life.  Today, I am an administrator at the district office where I get to spend each day doing something different to make education better for kids. Family One of the biggest changes in the past two years is that my husband and I are now parents to an almost two year old little boy.  He is our everything, and I thought life was great without him...but I was wrong: life with him is better than I could ever imagine. Now that things have settled down in my wor...

Teachers Who Challenge

Photo Source: Author  Challenged as a Student When I think of my favorite teacher, I think of Professor Jones (named changed for confidentiality) from California State University of Long Beach.  I have to ask myself, why is he my favorite teacher?  Why does he stand out in my mind from all of the rest?  As I go over all of the reasons why I valued my time in his class, there is one reason that sticks out among the rest: he challenged me day in and day out. I was lucky to take both a literature course and a composition course from him as I was completing my bachelor's in English Education.  I remember turning in my first draft of a writing assignment for his Applied Composition for Teachers course thinking, I totally aced that first draft.  Several days later I  received his page of direct feedback notating that the draft I submitted would receive a below average mark if turned in as is for the final paper. I remember feeling shocked and stunn...
