I went back to work after 2 and a half months off. After that much time without working it is an exhausting transition to get up early and actually work. The exhaustion aside I am excited. I get to teach kids math. How cool is that.
My goals for the new year are this:
1. Establish good routines in my classroom.
2. Be firm and consistent with rules.
3. Focus on students ability to think about math.
How I will measure my success:
1. Students will enter and exit the room in an orderly fashion.
2. Amount of time spent arguing with students.
3. I'm not sure exactly how to measure this. I am going to have to think about this.
