Make It Happen in 2012!

Mrs. Stevens Blog

1. I have ambition but I believe I can do better! Ambition is a big part of getting things done and this last semester I am kicking it into gear. WORK WORK WORK

2. Study for test more often. I make good grades on daily paper but tests I don't do so hot. I will make sure to take out the time to study for tests when it is needed.

3. Procrastination. I get things done and I get them done on time but I wait till the last minute do everything and it is absolutely horrible. I don't know why I do that to myself but I will not longer.

The Ideal Classroom

An Ideal Classroom? ->Lewisville I.S.D
I believe that the ideal classroom should be a place where the kids feel safe, not only from the obvious, but I want them to feel like it's a second home. I believe if it is possible to make this happen students would learn more. The classroom these days are taking away from the fun and I know people need to grow up but makinf everything so strict isn't the way.
Students pay attention a lot if it's about technology, having something fancy and shiny in their hands is like a bran new feeling. They feel they can be trusted and that they can do something right and learn something new.
In my idea classroom it would be like home but better!

Grinch or Santa!

Two articles that I have read before posting this blog:
Bah, Humbug
Santa Claus can

I believe that schools should be able to celebrate the holidays in the class room to an extent.

Cards never did anyone wrong! They are just a simple thing to make someone smiling by letting them know someone cares. Cards in the class room is one thing compared to santa being there. Now it's understandable that he is kind and teaches kindness and generosity, but they can always see him outside the class room and it wouldn't be taking any of the teachers time out of the classroom.

Also I think having a little fun towards the break like a small party would be good for the kids. It shows that its not all "boring" and that they can have fun, but to an extent of learning something at the same time.

The holidays is a special time to anyone and everyone, rather they be religous or not. The celebrations don't have to be celebrated in a religous way, but just a fun way, the right way!
