I believe that every English and Literacy teacher has an "I wish" list that goes on forever...

It has been some time since I have been able to sit and write here... my very first mistake was thinking that I need to have yet another blog. Well, that was simply out of admiration... not practicality. Obviously, I am not equipped to reach out in so many directions.... I have to be content for ONE art project and ONE computer project during the school year. The greenhouse is my salvation, but it cannot serve its purpose if I overextend my time online. (after all, there is only so much time in a day)

I have a wish list...as I have mentioned... and it is filled with dreams and desires...

SUMMER READING
For the last four years, I have worked diligently on summer reading committees... apparently I have been too vehement in my belief system against the Matthew Effect... Cannot go into details at the moment, but my wish list includes that ALL teachers absorb the interest and take the time to research summer regression and the Matthew Effect... and apply their new knowledge to the students in front of them.

RESOURCES FOR STUDENT CHOICE OF READING
I have been charging up books galore in order to facilitate my non-readers excitement to "buy" their choice of reading materials... I cannot begin to describe the high that follows a shopping trip in the classroom via Amazon.com...wish I really had the $$ to afford my purchases :)

I WISH AND PRAY that QUANTUM TEACHING is as AWESOME as it seems to be!
All year I have been implementing the suggestions I found while reading QUANTUM TEACHING this past August... I presented the ideas to my students, explaining the changes within the classroom, and everything has worked successfully... we are all charging forward having faith in what I have read and absorbed. My wish is that this information has the pay-off that I believe it will. My students will begin testing on Monday, April 3rd... the true test is at hand!
