I feel like a swimmer returning to shore, glancing every now and then at the approaching landmass. The swimmer knows this is usually the place where there is a strong undercurrent, and it be best to outstretch those arms, kick those legs and make those lunges forward to get some headway. If we don't work our hardest at this moment, as close as the shore is, we won't reach it if we don't try. Or worst, we could get washed up on the shore.
So I say to myself, "just keep swimming, just keep swimming....
Does anyone have a life jacket or a surfboard?
I'm glad we got to do Poems for Two Voices. It opened up a new avenue for me to teach my students, something I love to do onto something I love to teach-Science. I'm ready to teach my interdisciplinary unit to my students this year. I am confident they are going to have a thrilling experience the way we all had.
In this course, educators will learn how to support the needs of adolescent and young adults, helping them develop into confident, and independent readers and writers. Focus will be on the improvement of literacy skills through meaningful, constructive engagements in reading and writing.
Arlene,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that you will be creative in using the Interdisciplinary Unit to teach Science! Enjoy!
