Midwest Unit

Over the past few weeks my life has been utterly consumed with the planning and implementation of my Midwest unit. Tomorrow is the day where I give the final assessment. I must say that it is such a nerve-racking feeling to know that the test is approaching, and I'm not even taking it!

I want the kids to do well. They have shown me that they know this stuff through all of the assessments that I have had to give throughout the unit. As well as they have done on the work throughout the unit, this whole test thing has put me on edge. Not only will this test be a measure of what the students know, but how well I did teaching them. Their performance on this test will reflect how I did as a teacher and my stomach is doing flips and turns just thinking about it.

There are so many things that I wanted to do with my unit that I just never had time for. I have definitely learned that there is never enough time in the day. Something else is more pertinent to complete, an assembly cuts the day apart, or an early dismissal scrambles the whole schedule. There are many things that I would do differently, but I am learning and growing as it goes.

As I go to bed tonight, I know that tomorrow is a new day and I can only hope for the best. I know that my kids will do their best, I know I did my best, and that is all that I can ask for :)
