Click below for the May 2020 edition of the Wildcat Gifted Quarterly newsletter! Last week, I asked my students to share with me something that they feel that everyone should try to do during this Covid-19 Quarantine. I had in mind a "bucket list" of things that anyone could try out, especially when bored. For those of you who don't know, a "bucket list" is a list of things you'd like to do before you "kick the bucket." Now, let's not get too serious here. We're not literally talking about kicking the bucket; rather, we're talking about things that you can -- or should -- try to take on before life speeds back up and returns to what we once called "normal." Without further ado, here are the suggestions given by my students. Enjoy! SOCIAL
NATURE
FAMILY
ENTERTAINMENT
SELF-IMPROVEMENT

To close out the school year, I asked my LMS students to pick from a list of unique topics. Among these topics are the following:
One thing I've tried to do as a teacher and coach is to personally take on whatever I may ask my students or wrestlers to do. When I had my sophomores memorize Mark Antony's speech from Julius Caesar, I did the entire 35-line speech myself. When I had my wrestlers complete a military-grade obstacle course at a summer camp, I attempted it myself. Now that I'm asking my middle school kids to take on a new challenge, I'm choosing to do it myself. I personally chose to do the 2nd topic, to try something new for 30 days. It's not an entirely new endeavor; rather, it's a way for me to kick-start and rejuvenate myself to get back into shape. That's right, I'm choosing to do a daily workout for the next thirty days, and I'm going to keep myself accountable here on this blog page.
I'll continue to update this log each day until the end of the quarter.
I had my students write SMART goals, so here's mine: Up through May 16, I will engage in at least one cardio and one strength-building exercise every day with the end goal to lose weight, feel stronger, and increase my energy levels. So, here's to the next 30 days! |
AuthorIn the spring of 2018, I made a brave choice to step out of my comfort zone (teaching English for the past 15 years) and into a great new position. Archives
