It is March yet?

I say "Is it March yet?" because February is very overwhelming and I feel like I am drowning in everything I need to do. I am involved in the Opera here on campus and this weekend is its show time. Between rehearsing practically everyday as well as my other ensembles and class, it seems like I'll never catch a breath. This space is really good for me to organize my crazy thoughts and really tone in on my classes. Speaking of classes, our last class meeting was a very interesting one. Discussing the essential questions really involved the whole class and had me thinking. The part of the class that really helped me differentiate essential questions was hearing how an essential question could be applied as a whole school question. Like the example; "what makes a true friend?" using this question in all classes to act as on over-arching essential question for the year. To me these essential questions can really be attached with NCTCS #4 "Teachers facilitate learning for their students" This is because these questions allow for a huge opportunity to learn by having more than just a "yes or no" answer. It gets the wheels cranking in the brain for a possible discussion and also a thought out answer rather than "yes or no."
