The strategies are also made up of some more technical components like teaching phonics, speed reading, and gauging reading comprehension. It was a challenging but great first day.
En route to my new job I left before the crack of dawn. I didn't want to take any chances with the traffic that has now become legendary, or infamous rather, in these parts. I tripled checked all the materials I needed to bring, but quickly found out during my second class I should have looked once more.
"You forgot it,"a first grader said to me. There aren't many things worse than that sinking feeling of letting someone down.
Still, I improvised. I made the best out of an avoidable situation and ended on a strong note. And my first go was a Masters Class. Here's what I learned:
- Go to the fear immediately. Don’t wait, or you'll likely never do it.
- Stay healthy – get rest, eat well, and be kind to yourself. You will not last if you don’t.
- You have more energy than you think.
- You will rise to the occasion no matter how hard the work if you’ve trained properly beforehand.
- NOTHING goes according to plan.
- You must be flexible.
- Kindness and patience no matter what.
