First Impressions

It's been three days of AP Psychology and though it's been quite a hectic and busy start to the year, I'm truly enjoying the way class is going.  Every single year I feel like I am going too fast, forgetting something, skipping important information, not modeling correctly, or not checking in enough.  By the end of next week, we'll be in full swing and we'll ALL have a good handle on class and the pacing.

The quiz results from Monday are what I was expecting, but I also expect to see improved results from the test on Friday.  As classes, my first impressions are that the students of this years AP Psych class are much more in tune to their own needs as learners.  This excites me.  A lot.  I think I have a great group of students who are ready to be the first class to achieve a 100% pass rate on the AP exam in May.  That's the challenge.  100%.  Big things in store if we make it there.  Huge.

That said, I like to end blogs by sharing something with readers that I find endearing, touching, funny, educational, or just plain ole fun.  So here goes:

This is a great song to listen to when you're stressed or down.  It always makes me smile.
