back in the saddle

3 weeks into the school year and I'm finally feeling like I have a handle on what's going on.
It's crazy how I can be simultaneously shocked to find myself a teacher again after almost forgetting over those blissful ten weeks, and so - SO - familiar with the setting and demands that I feel like I never left. As much as I feel (you'll never guess...) a little overwhelmed by this semester's workload, I am still feeling really good about the curriculum project.
I set up a Moodle class (online) for myself and a few brave colleagues to share lessons and pilot this curriculum mapping project I was crazy enough to initiate last year. It has been great! I knew that teaching was isolating, but I had no idea it had gotten so bad! I feel so connected by the semi-lame weekly updates and exchanges! It makes this job seem so much more manageable
