Take Two

Today began the second year of robotics for me as a teacher. I feel better about this year but still very challenged with the assignment. So much to learn, how do I teach it? It is so exciting to be in a place knowing that I will challenged all the time.

36 students last year in two classes, 86 students in five classes this year. It was so much fun seeing the excitement in the students faces today as we went over the syllabus. I feel most students would rather do anything as go over a class syllabus. As we discussed the class, questions came up but they were questions of wanting to know more. What a novel idea "Students asking clarifying questions and wanting to know more."

I look forward to the year although I will face struggles, not the same struggles as last year but struggles none the less. Each day will present new opportunities for my students and I to grow stronger.
