As I get to know my students I am thankful for what seems like a calm class. Do you hear that noise? That's me knocking on wood. I have had 2 years in a row of very challenging students and with this project to do on top of everything else, I am thankful for this group. I think this project will be all the challenge I need this year. Is it just me or does anyone else feel the deadline noose tightening around their necks? I've completed 2 deadlines already and have 2 more looming in the next 3 weeks. And report cards, dare I say it, are already creeping into my deadline consciousness. Yikes! Maybe I will make that a poll question... how many of you feel the strain of teaching when so many deadlines are placed on your shoulders? I guess you'll have to check in regularly enough to see if that poll question pops up.
Hope everyone is blessed with a great bunch of students and I hope every student is blessed with a teacher as good as you!
We're sorry. This survey is now closed. We thank you for participating and for your interest.

I feel a little like a Stefan Dion at the moment myself.......I have an important message and program to present to schools (Ontario ecoschools program) and yet know that when I speak of the need for us all to become envrionmnetally responsible that there are other things on peopl's minds......but the ecological initiatives thast we as educators are getting involved in are extremely important and worth the effort...know that what you do is vital to the future of our children and i will help you all in any way I can...togehter we can all change the world.

I thought that I would contribute to the discussion by providing information on an organization called Earth Rangers. They deliver free, curriculum-linked environmental programs to students in Grades 1-8 throughout the GTA.
Their program covers concepts of sustainability and energy conservation.
You can check out their website at www.earthrangers.org.
