This week, I certainly learned to be flexible. My goal with this blog was to write everyday with a lesson that I learned from that day in my classroom.
Well... This lesson learned was spread out over this week, since I didn't get a chance to write everyday.
As a teacher, though, one should be flexible because anything can happen. Expect the unexpected!
When you do your lesson plans, don't panic if you don't get to something throughout the week. Think of them as your guidelines: The objectives that you want to teach, the page numbers of the textbook, the practice problems you want the students to complete, etc.
Always leave room for the unexpected: A lesson that doesn't go as easily as you think, students' questions that take longer to answer, etc.
So... This lesson took me a few days to learn and realize. Plus, I finally had a few moments to blog about it.
