We are down to the wire with classes and it has been an inspiring term. I’m realizing that six weeks is too short a time. I want to thank Zalika for sharing some of her thoughts and ideas with us today. It was great to hear the books she shared with us and to learn some tools that we can use in our classrooms. I also really like the idea that she is willing to come and sit in on our classrooms as we student teach. I think this is a wonderful gift that she has bestowed upon us.
I am currently getting all my things together for the portfolio, looking through our assignments and reflecting on our various readings. As I do this I can imagine future students of mine doing the same task. It is a wonderful way to become inspired once again in the work that we have been doing. Things from week one bounce back into focus. And then I decided to go and read the blogs again. I was a little nervous about blogging to begin with, being new to the sport and all. But in the end it is a great tool to learn from each other. Everyone has unique things to share with the class. This is a great way to keep discussions going or to open up avenues to new discussions. I appreciated how honest people were with their posts and this help set our community up.
The end is near and I am ready to go and discover new things but am hesitant to leave the safety of this wonderful nest Zalika has built for us. I sometimes feel like I am falling off of the mountain of information that we have gained. I know that it will come into focus and that we will have one another to share ideas with and support each other in times of stress. We will all come back to the time that we had in this class and remember when our community became a solid force in each of our lives.
