Believe to succeed!

This past week has been full of success. Not only have I made improvements in the classroom but our judging teams have also did very well at the contests this past week. Marion has a tradition of having a very competitive livestock team and it seems to be continuing that this year. This past week our livestock judgers were 5th place out of around 250 students at the San Antonio Livestock Contest. That was just one example of the great achievements made by students at Marion High school. Now on to classroom success, my classroom management, organization skills and depth of lessons are increasing substantially each week. Last week I was having issues with students talking. I warned once and said if I do not receive full attention for this class period ya'll will be given a seating chart. Well, they did not pay attention and I stuck to my word. This past week they have been very attentive, taking notes and remaining silent. Very good improvements!! I am excited to see what the rest of the semester has in store for myself, as well as my students! I my goals are to keep up with all class and be prepared the night before, I want to have everything planned out and organized. For my students, I want to make sure I am creating activities that keep their focus and interest them.
