Final ED 505 Blog and Merry Christmas!

This is a BIG day...one that I thought about six weeks ago would never get here. It's the day all my ED 505 assignments are submitted! It all seemed overwhelming in the beginning and the more I worked on the assignments the more I felt like I didn't have a clue what I was doing! It reminded me of when I began learning sign language many years ago. I would learn, go to classes, make good grades, and then get in a conversation with a person who used sign language and realize I knew almost nothing! But with this blog it will all be done, at least until January when I have to figure out what must be done for ED 508...Technology Portfolio.

Until January, I am going to enjoy my family, my classroom and students, and my friends. I am going to work on my iPads. I am going to get ready for the State Department of Education to visit my school the week before Christmas break (what great timing...and we don't get out of school this year until Dec. 21st!). I will make the most of this break for all the parts of my life that get pushed to the side during grad classes. Today that means I took the day off work and I am going shopping in Fairhope with my husband, son and daughter-in-law (who happen to be in town from Dallas) and I am going to eat a yummy Panini Pete's panini for lunch! And since this break happens to be in December, I will reflect on what Christmas really is for me as we celebrate the birth of Jesus. Merry Christmas to all!
