Spring Break

Spring break is here, and that means it's time for some reflection, catch-up, and relaxation.

I think as a student I never quite understood that teachers looked forward to breaks as much as we did: it was their JOB, and my parents had JOBS and they didn't get breaks... However, teaching is a different animal. We have busy times, and busier times. I feel there is a need for time off, and that it's important to take at least some of that time to reflect on the general state of the classroom.

Chances are your grades just went in too, so how are the students doing? 

I will be taking time to reflect on this question, and how I can alter my approach to teaching to better benefit my students. The one thing I have been thinking about lately is making sure students are really learning about art while creating it.
