Where have I been? This blog has been empty for over a month! :(
To all my lovely, loyal readers, I am so sorry that I haven't been updating this blog. I would like to take this space to let you know that:
1) I am still alive! I have not been eaten alive by my kiddos yet!
2) I am still teaching in the DOE and loving it.
3) My students have gotten better and I am actually starting to like my first period again... slowly, but steadily they are improving :)
4) I've already been observed and evaluated this year. My principal, Ms. Lopez came in on a Wednesday in November in my second Integrated Algebra class and observed a lesson on solving & graphing inequalities. In my post-observation conference, she went up to me, took my hand and said: "That was one of the best lessons I have seen in over ten years as principal of this school. Thank you so much for everything you do for your students."
Teaching in NYC is time consuming and I have had work PAST MY HEAD every week. However, that's not an excuse to stop blogging. I created my blog so that I could have space to reflect on my teaching, and unfortunately, with all the paperwork, lesson planning, etc. that I have had these past few weeks, not too much reflecting has happened.
I promise (!!!) that I will be better about updating you guys on my teaching adventures! My goal is at least 1 post a week -- hopefully 2 posts from now till the end of the school year.
