Gratitude Journal Day 40 - Completing my SEI Class

Today, I am grateful for for being able to successfully complete the SEI class that I have been working on for a couple of months. 

My plan was to use my time on either Mondays or Tuesdays after school to spend 2-4 hours to complete this. 

Those were some really long days throughout this semester!

Teaching full time. Working a second job on the weekends when I don't have my son. Then doing this. 

I want to engage with learning that will satisfy my soul as a learner. 

I enjoy reading about pedagogy (the method and practice of teaching a subject or concept), and having conversations with others who enjoy thinking about why we do what we do. This class gave me time to think about what strategies I should be using to help English language learners in the classroom. I want my classroom to be liberating and I believe that cannot happen if I cannot effectly communicate with all students who are in the room. 

I still have a lot to learn but I am currently enjoying this journey!
