In teaching primary level students, I've learned to write plans in pencil. I've also learned to save ideas or lessons for a different day when needed. Save the chunks, the scraps, and whatever else. After all, highly effective means always developing, always tweaking, and cultivating so it can bring some golden nugget of truth to life.
Reminds me of compost-God's natural recycling plan. Tossing the scraps and fibrous skins in, fertilizing future fulness to come forth.
STOP
Romans 8:28"And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." (NASB)

"Writing plans in pencil": I like that. I LOVE my routine and predictability, but I also know life is better if I can be at least somewhat flexible.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are a creative and interesting teacher. Your students are blessed to have you.
ReplyDeleteAs a professional environmental manager, I really connected with your reduce, reuse, recycle analogy! And I write everything on my calendar in pencil, too - things always change! (I'm your neighbor on FMF)
