Another school year is almost upon me. I can't believe it will be my 26th year for all of this. I must say though, I am having a real hard time getting motivated. ( and have been for several years, now) I enjoy the interaction with my students. That is not the problem, I guess I am tired of all the extra stuff we have to go through to teach these days. Lesson plans must be written in certain formats, and updated and organized. I guess if I was one of those teachers who was uber organized and did the same things every year this would not be a challenge,
I just looked at the files on my computer from last year and created folders for each of the classes I teach. I had saved everything, just not in files and certainly not in any chronological order. Well, since it was my first time teaching those subjects I would call what I did last year pretty unorganized anyway. This year I have a much better handle on things, at least that is what I am telling myself. I have a good idea of what worked and what didn't, or at least that is what I am telling myself.
