Tomorrow I go back to teaching for the new school-year. I expect to encounter some brick walls here and there and I look forward to the opportunity to get through them or over them as the case may be. I also expect the joy of fostering learning in my 30-35 fourth graders. It is a calling and an amazing privelege to educate the next generation. My personal goal is to post here once a week or more with stories about the classroom and what is working. If you find people fascinating as I do, please tune in and take this journey with me.
More on the brick walls is here.

Are you referring to brick walls as in how they were discussed in Randy Pauch’s Last Lecture? If so, I hear you about encountering them as a new school year begins! Wow, are there ever a lot of brick walls…but if anyone has read or watched The Last Lecture, then we can appreciate what they are there for and deal with them appropriately.
After I read and watched The Last Lecture, I shared a little about it on my blog and have the link to the official site there as well. I think that everyone should check it out at some point…soon! It is worth reading and/or watching.
