Looking Ahead

Another day comes to a close, and I think I accomplished quite a bit today. After reviewing back over the new Common Core Standards, I came to the realization that the work I have put into my lessons over the years has come extremely close to what these new higher standards demand. Perhaps now there will be less resistance from the parents who have always thought my class was too challenging. I can't help but feel a sense of redemption. I hope I have enough time to put together three more major activities before we head back to schhol. Right now, I am in the middle of creating some visual discovery lessons to tie into primary resources, and I am having fun doing it. I have discovered some really cool websites I have never seen before. Oh yeah, I have even learned to embed a video into my powerpoint presentations. I just hope I don't lose the effects when I save for my school computer and open it there. Don't get me wrong, I am thankful I have what do have in my room, but sure wish the technology in my room is upgraded soon. I will keep you posted...
