Last Off Day 10-16-09

This is the last day of the Fall Break, I have one more day until I get back to the normal timetable. I want to stay with same topic, classroom control I always think about what will I do in that first fight, how will I handle it, will the class think that I have my room under control? These are questions that I ask myself. I want the kids in room to feel like I am in complete control of all activities in the room, they can say what they need to and not be judged by people in the room. I do not want to have my thumb on them so that they can not think, I do not want robots, I want creative beings. I know I am getting to deep but it is the truth, I can read from the book and they can repeat but what are we really teaching then? Not much, in my opinion. I want the students do see the reason behind doing the work, I want to be upfront with them to why we are doing certain activities. I do not want to give useless work that is not going to make an impact in any way. I want to teach things that matter and things that they can take with them.

Goals are the fuel in the furnace of achievement.
