Semester 1= almost over!

I can't believe that this first (high school) semester is almost over. I feel like it was just the first (well, maybe third) day of school!

It's really quite amazing at the growth that I see in myself in the classroom. Biggest thing right now: classroom management. I kind of can't believe it, but I find myself taking away cell phones, giving detention (ok only once), and posing in such a way that students actually ask their peers to pay attention. Some of these things I'm more proud of than others, but it really makes me think HARD about how I plan to set up my own classroom policies and procedures...and how important it is to be CONSISTENT!!!!!
