First week reflection

Well, we head into the second week of school after an interesting first week! With only one day of classes followed by a flood and no school, I have begun to reflect upon just how much we rely on the simple things. The clocks do not keep accurate time, the P.A. system cannot be heard in all classrooms, and many students are unable to access their work on computers. This past week has served to remind me that teachers need to demonstrate flexibility in both their planning and instructing. Without it, we could drive ourselves absolutely crazy!

Welcome to the fall quarter!

It's nearing the end of summer vacation and I am gearing up for a fantastic school year. I am looking forward to teaching both my high school and university students as well as developing ways in which they will be able to communicate with one another.
