Time to relax
In the few weeks since Christmas break, I have been settling into a really nice routine with my students. They have been doing lots of self-directed lab work (with online images, scaffolds and videos to guide them). The atmosphere in class feels mature and productive. It has been wonderful to relax into the middle of the year, with everyone well-rested from the Christmas vacations. It is times like these I remember that when you trust and value your students, they return the sentiment. Everyone’s productivity looks different and we are in a unit (Body Systems) that allows students to be unique, creative and individualistic.
It doesn’t hurt that they got to do their first dissection last week, either ; )
Pictures to follow soon!
Best,
Ms. Schley
