Today was the 1st day of school and MAN, it FLEW by! I had a blast with my new Red 4 learners! #rjlred I hope everyone had as much fun as I did. Despite my need for rest and sleep, I still knocked out my weightlifting exercises for today! Win!!

Today my learners' reflections were to ask themselves 5 questions that they'll answer on the last day of school to show their growth and possible changes throughout the year. The questions were meant to be open-ended, no yes or no questions. On the last day of school, they will answer them interview style.
Got the idea from #CISDconvo16 @gcouros
I decided to do the same thing as my reflection for today.
Here goes:
- What is something that has surprised you about this year?
- What was your favorite moment with your class from this year?
- How did the club you want to start this year (more information to come) go?
- What are some ways you coped with stress and stayed positive this school year?
- What is something you learned about yourself as an educator?
What a success this night was! I enjoyed visiting with my learners and their families. It was wonderful to finally get to meet them.
I cannot wait to see how the learners use and enjoy their space on the first day of school!
I need to get to bed now. I'm actually finishing this post on Sunday, the night before school. I know that the night before school every single year, my brain goes into over drive and I can't stop thinking about the next day. I'm sure my learners are going to go through the same thing tonight. I'm not used to going to bed early (and it won't be early tonight), so this is going to be a transition for me and probably my learners as well.
Well, here's to a WONDERFUL first day of school!!!
