My Support Provider and mentor, Linda Williams, has always been helpful to me. She is a great resource person. We always share ideas and resources. She has been teaching for 30 years, and she is still doing great.
Lately, I have been in an emotional roller coaster. I am happy one day, then sad the next day. I am overwhelmed with what's going on in my life - personal and career-wise. My other class is still not controlled. Some boys are still giving us teachers a hard time. I can tell they are just immature (They are born later in the year.). Many days, my energy just waned going to this other class, but I should not be troubled. I have to be strong, consistent, and firm. My co-teachers are also getting impatient, and we always tell each other, "One more month...one more month..." I think students are getting tired too. They have been at school for 9 months, and they need a break too.
Well, I still have more enjoyable things for the kids to do. I cannot lose energy. I cannot get tired. Learning has not ended. :)
