Every year about this time, I get really excited. All summer long, I've been linked to several blogs and 21st century literacy sites by my new media savvy brother; I got to spend a week in Philadelphia as part of a Teaching American History grant, and I've had the chance to read several books. I get really excited about entering the classroom. I spent more time than ever making plans, fixing up my room, and rehearsing the first few plans over in my mind.... But after the first few days a little steam has been knocked out of me. The students just aren't excited as I am. It is always a wake up call for me. They have little to no interest in education, world affairs, and certainly not history.
So, this weekend I'm forced to step up my game another notch. So I'll let you know how that goes...
No longer a blog virgin,
