In the Flow???

This is how I think I am taking it all in, very delicately. Little sips of great knowledge, wonderful strategies

BUT this is my reality...

Does anyone else feel like picture number 2, besides me?? HAha!
There are only very small windows in which to pause and reflect in 8 week courses. I have learned so much and hope I retain at least half of it. Dr. Steffes does a great job teaching and coaching.

Veering for a moment -
Balance, time management and breaks...
I am struggling with  balance and time management - full-time job, family (at the holidays), my son leaving for boot camp, British Literature (6 more discussions, 4 more papers and a final), FE class hours, FE observation logs & reflections, 9 more lesson plans and 10 more Blooms questions. When the water gets turned off and I awake---my son won't be here during my break. We are doing his Christmas Friday.
This is part of teaching and I am learning a lot!

Back to takeaways - my favorite two strategies tonight were WebQuest and Anticipation Guides.
Kaci and Katie did a phenomenal job on presenting their lesson plans. I liked Kaci's bug unit and Katie's conjunction, interjection lesson - I like that she had the students moving.

Here is to trying to manage time well and getting it all done!
