I have done many things in my 10 years of teaching here at St. Paul Lutheran School. I have not, however, used all of the old, left-over teacher materials filed away on the bookshelves, file cabinets, and other nooks in the room. Some of these materials were left by my predecessor, others by the teacher before him, and some items were even used when I went to school here some 20 years ago! It was time for some cleaning. Thanks to that, I've found additional space for all of my new materials, hands-on activities I've built, and a couple of drawers for additional technology items. (Who doesn't need a handful of extra cables and tech tools). It is amazing how technology transforms. Knowledge can be found literally at our 'finger-tips' so quickly that the regular hard covered, dust collecting books are not as necessary for students to learn. While I do have a shelf of Dictionaries (the blue covered books on the fourth shelf), this is only true until we can get our students closer to a 1:1 classroom. Read more about that here.
I think I've done enough for today. Time to enjoy some weekend fun and get ready for the Parent/Student meeting on Monday, August 27th. God's Peace and Blessings.
