The new semester began this past Monday. Maybe it's because I didn't get last semester's grades finished and entered until Thursday, but I just don't feel as though this semester is beginning as smoothly. I feel disconnected from the students and the material. In particular, I feel as though I'm not really sure how to fill the time in Foundations. I have several students who finish their work in half the time I expect. I also have several students who take double the amount of time. Differentiation is going to be key. I'm very happy that I have an aide in the class with me.
My honors class is going to be great. I'm pretty excited about them. I haven't decided about the other two just yet. They may go either way. My hope is that Foundations will remain the nice, hard-working class they currently seem to be, and that Extensions will stay as energetic as they are, but become more able to concentrate during lectures and discussions.
