When you are a teacher, Sunday night has a special place in your life. You are winding down the weekend and gearing up for the week. You are apprehensive about what lies ahead and feeling like you didn't accomplish as much as you should have, but you also are eager to get back to the classroom to share in the energy of your students and the atmosphere of learning. Oh, dilemmas!
I have had a good weekend, and I am ending it by sort of watching the 6oth Emmy Awards- more interested in seeing the dresses than knowing who wins. I have put down plans through the first 9 weeks in my plan book, and I am thinking about how our Monday morning will go. I baked muffins earlier today so that we will have an easy breakfast in the morning. Once the roller coaster of the week gets started, I will be on my way, and planning will take a backseat as I navigate through the days.
Middle schoolers are not generally good at planning ahead, and maybe a little bit of that spirit is rubbing off on me. We as teachers spend a great deal of our time asking our students, "Why can't you be more organized?" Poor students- we need to recognize that even all grown-ups are not organized. How much more can we expect of them?
