I do swim with the students, but I could work harder to design fun, exciting lessons that everyone wants to jump in and try the water!]]> 2018-03-13 18:13:04 UTC https://padlet.com/salme/41y883bltcfi/wish/241555184 Therein lies the rub lreese1 https://padlet.com/salme/41y883bltcfi/wish/241587169 "You're either swimming or you're drowning."

Fear of drowning, aka not teaching all of the standards that it is my sworn duty to cover, convey, and have them master, is at the heart of my fear of swimming. This is a sworn duty people!!

(p. 14) mbernstrom1 https://padlet.com/salme/41y883bltcfi/wish/241984285 It is hard for me to not get distracted with all of the different things going on throughout my lesson.
