Am I a vampire? 'Cause I can't see any reflection...
As in, I know personal/professional reflection is beneficial and should be done in a timely manner, but I also know the road to hell is paved with good intentions, so I took a detour. I also know you shouldn't mix your metaphors with your beer and liquor, so I'll just hit enter and start over...
I planned on spending this Spring Break reviewing my first 10 weeks as a real live classroom teacher, going over the lessons, assignments, and planning so I could work out what could have been done better. Well, it quickly became obvious the answer was "everything" so I put that on a back burner and cleaned up the office, organized the bookshelves, and read a lot. I also became addicted to Twitter, but that's another issue.
Now I'm in low-level panic mode because I did not plan every day through the end of school year. I brought everything home from each subject and stacked it all up neatly, then dusted the stacks once a week.

Bit by bit, my friend...and inch by inch.
As the first few days back from break went by I realized not one student knew what/when/how much I planned anything. And it all worked out just fine.
