Guess We are not in Kansas anymore



March may come in like a lion, but February went out like a cyclone. Last 3 days of school? Two days at ICE, learning all kinds of things and meeting people. Still digesting and will be reviewing later in a future post. Friday, we attended a really engaging performance of Comedy of Errors Short Shakespeare @ Navy Pier that totally engaged the kids. This followed by a lunch meeting discussing the modification of our exchange program for MS students. which will involve some research and investigating.Add Image

NAIS just ended, and some great thoughts are flying on the Independent Schools list serv. I have yet to read some of the online materials that have been posted from this as well as ICE. Finished DRIVE which has led me to take a look at Alfie Kohn's Punished by Rewards, which is considerably more difficult to read but more applicable to the topic of education.

I may be a life-long learner, but I have got to learn to pace myself! Times like this I wonder if our students feel the same. I am so excited about it all and cannot get it all in. What about when you are involved in all this merely because you have to be, not because you enjoy it?
