Three Things I Know To Be True

Plans
All the lists and calendars and appointments can't always ensure smooth sailing
Things happen that change your plans
Sometimes you are in Prague walking in the square, admiring the beauty
And you get a call
A relative has passed away
All the plans to enjoy change and your focus shifts to your family and their loss

Love
Love is around in more ways than you expect
Even when all you see is darkness and all you feel is pain
When you are thousands of miles away from your family and friends
You live alone in a tiny apartment, alone in the city of love
You reach for your laptop and Skype your family
And a piece of you comes back in place

Fear
This is the one that is with you always, though you try to fight it
It was with you when you held your brother's hand, nervous on your first day of kindergarten
It was with you when your parents drove away and you were alone on your college campus
It was with you when you left everyone you knew to move to Paris for a year
It is with you now, sometimes as a fuel, sometimes as a block

These three: plans, love, and fear are things you know as pieces of you

My turkey ran out...

In today's edition of "kids say the darndest things", I had a student who walked into our second-period French class with only 10 minutes left in the period. I know that this student lives within walking distance. I also know this student is a great story-teller. Towards the end of the class period, while students were completing their final class activity, I went over to the late student eager to hear his excuse for today. He explained that he was late because "my turkey ran out of his cage". I was surprised and amused by this story.  "So I went to the slaughterhouse on Friday to pick up a guinea fowl and a turkey" he began. "I had the turkey in a cage in my living room. This morning, my grandma woke me up and yelled 'the bird is out of its cage!' So I got up and went running around outside my house to find the turkey. Then my grandpa woke up and yelled 'what's going on here?' Then I told him about the turkey. So anyway, th...

If at first you don’t succeed

If you give students the opportunity to debate and you’ve prepared them with a wealth of resources, Will they participate successfully? Today my answer was no. I found that my best laid plans were unsuccessful. Some students were well prepared with notes while others had no idea we were doing a debate. My success rate is not particularly high with this class, but at our second attempt at a more formal class discussion I had high hopes. I’m feeling down on myself like I let them down. But I’m trying to take the unsuccessful lesson in stride and use what happened today to improve the next time. If at first you don’t succeed, revise your lesson plan.

Grateful

Today I am grateful for a snow day. I have just come back from back to back trip. The first, an amazing trip to Europe with my students, and the second a funeral. I've been jet lagged and emotional and I am grateful to have space and time to myself to rest and recharge today. Last week due to all the travel and grief, I was very stuck and felt on edge. I felt easily irritated and found myself neglecting grades in order to try to be present for my family as they grieved. I felt like a bad teacher. I often feel this difficult balance and sometimes find it difficult to be a good teacher and good friend, relative, significant other. I feel sometimes when I feel I'm doing really well as a teacher, my personal life is not as nourished and I don't feel my relationships are being well cultivated. But to the opposite, if I feel I am being a good friend/daughter/significant other, I am not necessarily a good teacher. I am so grateful to have today to pause and rest and reflect. I h...
