finally friday!!!

it is finally friday!!!! 17 more days of school left!!! today has been a day of reflection for me as far as this semester goes. i have truly learned alot about multimedia and i have done things that i know i would not have otherwise done. my greatest accomplishment in my eyes was the animation project. i had so much fun creating the animation and i did not realize that it was such hard work. i mean, to even get a rabbit to move its tail up and down took quite awhile. i actually wish that i had been introduced to animation during my undergrad years because i might be in a different field today...

well, on to school business....today is friday and progress reports are due. i have already turned in all of my grades and for now the kids seem pretty subdued. no, real drama yet but the day is still young. i think at this point in the school year the kids are in need of a break and so are the teachers. but, only 17 more days left until summer..i must say i love my job but i definitely need to refresh my mind, body, and soul....so, bloggers i will talk to again when the hands hit the keyboard!!

been awhile.....

well, well, well.....it has been quite awhile and alot of crazy things have happened...let's summarize what's been going on. first, i found out that everyone at my school is being transferred :(. second, i found out that because i have only been teaching for two years i cannot choose where i will be transferred to :( so, as you can see things have been a bit stressful.

but, on to some good news... i have learned so much this semester and i have, surprisingly, applied alot of the things into my own classroom. i created a powerpoint lesson plan using a youtube video for the first time (Score for me!!!). the kids loved it and it actually kept them entertained. they have been asking when i will show something like that again...
