my kids are working and learning!

i was just sitting here at my very favorite cafe, talking with one of my colleagues who i'm doing this cool new planning process with. (that would be the Understanding By Design process, that i talked about in my last post). i said to him "my kids are doing a lot of work. i mean, i don't think it's quantifiable but they are really excited about this assignment. they seem like they're getting stuff so far." he said "that's because we are doing good planning. we know where we are going and what we're trying to accomplish, and they know, also. that's the point of this planning process." it was like a light bulb went off in my head. a very bright, very cool lightbulb.

even though work is hard i am loving it. my job is so cool!
yay
