He said, “You get the best out of others when you give the best of yourself.”

I’m very anxious to hear how 6th graders interpret this quotation. It seems that often we do things “just to get by” or because it’s something that is required. Students are not much different and it is important that they see us “at our best” and “giving our best”.

No problem for me giving my best. I just need to find a little left at the end of each day!

I am really a baby blogger! In trying to find my way around here, I erased my earlier entry. Oh well, you live and learn.

Wow, it’s Friday at last! I was beginning to think it wouldn’t get here. My new group of students have settled into a routine where they know what they are doing. Life is good, but very busy.
