Reflecting

Our Autumn quarter is almost over and I can just taste winter vacation!  I have done more reflection on what I'm thinking and learning than I ever did in my entire life.  I absolutely see its benefits and how it enhances the learning experiences, helps put things altogether, but me thinking about my thinking is also exhausting. Ann Lamott's book Bird by Bird has helped me out a lot this quarter.  I try and do little by little.  This is a tip I plan on giving my students.  Just writing for ten minutes and putting my thoughts on paper with out worrying about conventions has helped me get things done.  And our snow days has helped too!
