Reflection


Week two just finished yesterday. In action research I realized how fast these three weeks are going by and it makes me think about how fast this year will go. Taking time to pause is going to be so important if only to slow things down to be able to appreciate it more. I can tell that there will be times when all you want is for weeks to be weekends and school to be breaks. But I don't want to get caught in the count down and loose details in the blur.

Classes/Action Research

I meant to get on here last night and write about how I was feeling about Action Research and classes so far. I have to admit I am a bit overwhelmed in action research. I always get foggy and a bit overwhelmed when reading research and things that seem to be over my head.
Feeling lost and a bit under qualified is stressful but taking breaths....
:) I listened to some Sigur Ros last night and just tried to relax and enjoy the the stars.
Hope everyone is finding ways to relax and deal with all of this information and our classes so far!
Sigur Ros is wonderful, listen to it a bit.

Inspiration


Each day, I find things in life and meet people who inspire me to look at things in new ways and learn new things. In staring this new journey, I know I will come across amazing finds, new experiences, moments of excitement and success and moments of frustration. I hope this blog is a wonderful collection of life long remembered experiences, new finds, and creative thoughts about teaching and life that come about from working with students in music and in the school.
