Thank you

This blog is a "thank you" to Teaching Fellows Institute. I enjoyed an extremely pleasant evening with a Top Chef Cook Off and a lecture about technology sponsored by Teaching Fellows Institute.

I must admit my day at school was long and challenging and I was feeling a little worn out before I attended the alumni event. However, I was rejuvenated after spending time with fellow colleagues as we stretched our thinking with recipes and our humble attempts to be the "top chef"! The evening ended with some valuable information about technology and the classroom. I left the event with the feeling that not only had my body been nourished from the delicious food, but more importantly my soul was fed with the fellowship and friendship from fellow educators!

Welcome Back!

Today was our first day back from Spring Break and it was extremely positive for me and the students. I couldn't help but notice that the students were focused and the transitions were smooth.

I also noticed that I was very focused, rested, and relaxed. I guess the students needed the break just as much as I did. I think we all got our tanks refueled to finish this school year strong.

How was your day back from Spring Break? What did you observe about your students? What did you notice about yourself?
