One Bad Experience

A- Allowing self to be flexible when coming to school in the morning and having 2 lessons changed on you

T- Tears formed at the end of the day after feeling useless and wanting to go home!
E- Everything goes wrong in math as well as art AND social studies!
R- Repeat this day? No thanks!
R- Running back and forth from the class to the photocopy room to the computer lab to draw up new lesson plans and photocopy new materials because the plan has been switched
I- I am very hard on myself so when students do not understand a concept, or when I do not perform to my own standards I take everything very personally
B- Blew my math lesson! Blew my art lesson! Blew my social studies lesson!
L- Learning from this day- learn from the mistakse in math class; that preparation when working as a big community circle is more than i though, learning how to model properly for students in art class, and learning that an overhead projector is much more difficult to use than i originally thought!
E- Expecting things to be perfect but learning they never are

D- Down on myself for the whole day
A- A new day will come and I should just remember this one as a learning experience.
Y- You can do it! I just need to keep telling myself that instead of letting myself get discouraged!
