Got through one of my worst types of day
as an educator: the formal observation.
It's me.
I have such incredible
Anticipation Anxiety.
My lesson was 50 minutes long,
on Compare & Contrast...
and I think it went well,
and once I'm three minutes into it,
I am myself again
and go with the natural flow
of doing what I have always done...
Teach little children.
We described two fiction characters,
compared & contrasted them,
and drew conclusions to answer the Essential Question:
Are they more alike, or
more different?
They both turned out to be kind,
responsible,
respectful,
and caring to animals...
Even though they did different things
with different animals.
Such goodness.
Love,

Oh, anticipation is just the worst! We let our imaginations run away with us and try to prepare for every possible eventuality. It's draining. Enjoy your weekend now it's over.
love it. x
i know what you mean. i am sure you did just wonderful.
hugs to you my friend.
Anticipation anxiety is a great way to describe what I definitely experience so often...fear of the unknown. So good to hear you confirm what I would have known...that you did perfectly well. Too bad we are so harsh on ourselves and our abilities. May you have a week of wonderful days and lots of play in your journal. Bless you dear...
