Got an email today from a mom informing that her son was home sick and that she would like his homework from today. We did our assignment using the Travel Math approach (see blog entry for Travel Math). Knowing he would not be able to duplicate the experience, I just scanned the worksheet that I got the problems from and emailed it to his mom. Wa-la! No need to come to the school to get the worksheet, he can get started right away at home on his work. Perfect solution!
Moving forward is a good thing. If you don't move, you become stagnant. If you become stagnant, you smell. (I'm going with a creek bed analogy here...stay with me). "It Is What It Is" helps us to keep our sanity as we try new things, but at the same time we should never settle for "what it is". We should constantly reflect and learn to move our teaching and our student's learning to higher levels so the classroom doesn't turn stale.
