Working on a lesson plan with more minds than just my own can be crazy in both a good and a not as good ways sometimes.<\/p>\n

See the problem is that I love to be happy. You might say…”How is being a happy a problem?”…I would respond by telling you that I can’t always be happy (and other people can’t either) because I do eventually run out of coffee in my cup. The cup being half full of air is not the type of “half full” that I like.<\/p>\n

\"Coffee

Coffee in the cafe. I was having a little bit of a rough time with our lesson planning, but this amazing barista made a beautiful cup of coffee for me! I love COFFEE!<\/p><\/div>\n

Like I said in one of my “page” comments, we all want everything to be a(maz)ing, or should I say perfect? We are Kenan Fellows because we are teachers who have visions and hopes for our classrooms. Those vision do not turn into reality without A LOT of struggles. Do you think our students know how much we struggle only to then watch (heaven forbid) a lesson go up in flames?<\/p>\n

Well, I don’t think there is any way that our lesson will go up in flames, but I sure am thirsty all of the time. I guess if you can’t take the heat, get out of the science lab!<\/p>\n

I think our biggest struggle in lesson planning is perfection and maybe trying to juggling two different lesson plans at the same time (BLAST That, Bacteria! vs. Maze Runner Bacteria).<\/p>\n

Our greatest reward in lesson planning together is collaboration and integration of or subject areas. I don’t think I would have ever imagined that science integrates this \u00a0well with language arts, if it had not been for Grace.<\/p>\n

\"This

This is the one and only, GRACE! She has been such a treasure to have on our Soil team, and I just love having her around.<\/p><\/div>\n

Bless her! She has had to put up with so much from us “science people”. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

But I should not forget to mention Dr. Julia Stevens. I am in awe of this woman. I think she has become my role model. When growing up (especially through elementary school) I was asked who is your role model, but I didn’t have much of an answer. I guess I am just now growing into my “big girl panties” (as my step-mother would say) because I have a role model!<\/p>\n

\"Doc

Doc and I are pipetting agar to keep our mazes in place.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
