This year is off to a very good start. It has been very busy, but it is a good beginning to what's going to be a good year I think. The students are catching on so quickly that I think they will really enjoy their game-making in the game design class.
We are a little behind schedule already, but getting the content and making sure things are completed is much more important than just covering the material. I learned that from last year's experience. It's hard not to feel so rushed to get everything finished in time. There's just so much to do, and when things don't go as planned or there are interruptions then it just makes us get further behind. I feel a little defeated about it.
But, that is the nature of the school day, and we will work around it. We have some very good, creative students with great possibilities in our class and I'm looking forward to some great things happening this year. I'm also excited about our middle school classes. They are doing very well too, and they are so excited about the class. This is great to see. I can't wait to see what they are able to do.
It is hard to believe that we are at the end of the first grading period already--or will be by the end of the week. I am woefully behind in my weekly blogging posts. I will strive to improve as the year goes on. The beginning is always a struggle for me as new classes begin.
I know you willl catch up on the blogging. The first progress report comes without warning, doesn't it? Thanks for inspiring Mollie and Melissa to great things at TV!
