But as I left the session, I found myself wanting to consider the question in greater detail.

I have been going to professional development workshops, planning with my grade level team, discussing details with my principal, and producing: posters, seating charts, homework, activities&#8230; The list goes on forever. Then last night I woke up in the middle of a deep sleep, suddenly realizing, &#8220;Oh my gosh, the students [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=yearseven.wordpress.com&amp;blog=8517010&amp;post=893&amp;subd=yearseven&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

In fact, I am pumped that I&#8217;ve been able to collect better and better ideas for teaching the topic as time has gone on. It makes me proud. It makes me feel like a professional.
