Ponderings: Remember that time?

High School English class. Mrs. E was teaching us quotes from age old fables. I loved hearing the play on words, but didn't really understand why we needed to know them. Yet, ten years later, as I look at my attempted educational blog, I can't help but think: 

"The best laid plans of mice and men often go astray."


So it goes, remember that time 3 months ago I was ready to make a difference? I wanted to stamp my name on the world of education. Ha, I had so many good intentions, yet here I am drowning in a to-do list and waking up an hour earlier every morning trying to catch up.

Yet, 

"The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are."

So here we are again, the first week of February.

My students will be skyping with their Folklorama countries - any other classes want to talk to us from Brazil, Costa Rica, Kenya or South Africa?

My students are tweeting! Follow us @MsDomsClass to see the awesome things we are learning in math and social studies.

I am figuring out the world of twitter as well @DominiqueDynes.

Let's see what else comes about this month. 

"Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going."
