At the beginning of the year, I set what I believed were some attainable goals. One of my goals is to post on this blog twice a month and post twice a month on my resource sharing blog, Bulldog Bytes. I'm failing miserably! Anyone who knows me knows that it is not for lack of having anything to say or that I have run out of things to share. I simply run out of time.
I go home at the end of the day with so many ideas to share. Either something awesome happened in class and I want to share it or I learned about some new way to do something and I want to blog about it. Then when I finally get home my day still isn't over. I only have one child left at home, but she is involved in different activities. By the time we are finally back home after practice it is time to make dinner. After dinner spend time working on lesson plans and feedback for my students. By the time I'm done with that I don't want to look at the computer screen any longer!
I will get a few extra posts in this month on both blogs.
I will say this------
Teachers are overworked. I only teach two classes and keeping up with planning meaningful activities and trying to ignite a passion for learning in my students is KILLING me! I want the 90 minutes that students spend in my class 2-3 days a week to be meaningful and relevant to them. I need more time. I need more time to bounce ideas off of my coworkers. I need more time to gather ideas for great lessons. And I want time to share the incredible work my students are doing.
