2018 has begun. With a new year many people make resolutions, even professional resolutions. We often hear the mantra: New Year New Me. That is NOT for me.
Although there won't be a new "me", this old "me" is going to try new things!!! I have been introduced to ideas new to me that I will try in my classroom. I'm looking forward to taking professional risks and bringing something different to my students. This month I'll be setting up an Escape Room as a pre-assessment for my science classes. I plan to integrate more mindfulness and brain breaks in each class period. Most of all, I'm excited to start using the new electronic science probes that I purchased via a grant that funded them. Every teacher has those notes from a professional development, conference, or observation that we have yet to implement. Find yours and use it. So while I won't be new, there will be a lot of new in my classroom. And after using the word "new" 10 times in this post, I shall wrap it up. January 1st is date on the calendar that reminds us to let go of what does not serve us nor our students and take the risk of doing something we have not done before. Scientifically yours, Nadene
