We received news today. Ms. Scigliano, the other teacher for this class, is leaving us. We are happy for her new & exciting position & adventures in teaching! We are also sad because we will miss her.
We also know that this will bring changes and disruption as a new teacher is found for the afternoons and a new routine is created.
This is a new challenge for our classroom but, as we have been discussing, we can control our response to the challenge.
Again, I ask you: Who do we want to be? What kind of class environment do we want to experience? We each control our actions and contributions. We add to the atmosphere. We create it.
It is in our power to experience AWESOMENESS!
You can part of the solution or part of the problem. You decide!
Here are two videos from Michael Jordan that relate to the power of choice and the transformative power of endurance and maintaining focus on a goal. It relates to sports. It relates to life. It relates to our class community.
BECOME LEGENDARY. CREATE GREATNESS THROUGH YOUR EVERYDAY CHOICES.
"I have something more important than courage. I have patience. I will become what I know I am"-Michael Jordan from "Look me in the eye".
We will be coming back to these brilliant videos at a later date to examine them from the perspective of media literacy.
