April 30, 2012

One of the days all the students look forward to April 30th means that school is less than a month from being out.  I got good reports that the students did behave themselves well while I was gone.  It was a great conference with lots of useful information to apply to the classroom.  That only bad part of the conference comes at the end of the year.

I like this time of year because the one thing that track meets teach us is that we must learn to manage our time as students.  I know that they are tired and they have been good about not complaining and have had their homework done.  Which I am proud of them for that.  I will be out of town the next two days.  I am presenting at the Nebraska Educational Technology Association or NETA.  I am excited to show off all the work the students have done this year for me using the technology we have in the classroom.
