Slicing every day in March!! Oh, oh. I don't know what to write. I'm tired and I'd love to stop trying to write so that I could curl up with a good book, instead. If it weren't for the March Slice of Life Challenge, I would most likely log out of my computer right now, so that I could grab one of the many books I'm reading, like... I would open up my book and get lost in the lives of the characters. Then, as my eyes would start to close, I'd put down my book, turn off the lights, and fall into a deep sleep until morning. So, I'm glad it's the middle of March and I'm participating in this challenge. If not, I would have stopped writing long ago. So, how can I keep the pressure on, so to speak, to keep writing every day and posting on my blog? Maybe I could set a challenge for myself. Pretend it's an April SOL challenge. Then, May. And, so on. I'm going to pressure myself to keep going. Hold myself accountable. Here...
This blog is a place to ruminate on the problems of teaching. If I am thinking thoughtfully, my posts will hopefully raise more questions than answers. By problematizing teaching we reflect on those questions that are constantly behind, in front, and at center of everything we do in the classroom. Feel free to comment. I'd love to hear what other teachers are thinking about on these and other issues. Cheers! Elisa
