There are only 38 days left until I leave Honduras, probably for good. My wife and I have talked about coming back here for annual medical check-ups and tests. We figured we could fly Spirit out of Ft Lauderdale, spend a week in an average hotel, have a few procedures done (colonoscopy, mammogram, blood work, ...) and save a couple thousand dollars. Medical care here has been great. I had a colonoscopy (which was as pleasant as could be expected) and received a dvd of my colon for only $100.
I only have 15 teaching days left with my 6th and 7th graders (9 days with 8th grade). Thirty five years in education now down to 15 days.
For the last few blogs (and I'm not saying this blog won't morph into MyFirstYearRetired after June 4th) I'm going to try to have a big idea about education or teaching that I have learned.
Idea #1: Teaching is not about the content. It is about facilitating the student's ability to engage in learning in an enjoyable and meaningful way.
