I love your post. I agree with you that sometimes we make things bigger than they really are. I am just as guilty of doing that as you seem to be admitting. I am taking my Praxis Exam tomorrow and I am psyching myself out over it. Most of my peers have taken it already and they say it is simple. However, I have been out of school for far many more years than they have, so I feel their perspective may be divergent from mine! I have decided that I am just going to do my personal best and improve upon that. I have time and I can retake the portions I am lacking in.
Good luck to you with your dissertation proposal! What a great achievement thus far to even be applying for it. Congratulations and I look forward to keeping up with your blog and your progress.

Hi Andrea,
I am currently seeking my degree in Elementary Education. I think the posts you have here are absolutely wonderful! There are some great ideas for keeping students engaged and on task. I am love the idea of using the cookie sheets and magnets. Those would be such great manipulative tools.
Respectfully,
Erin
