Intro

Welcome!  This is a blog to track my progress as I begin using "whole brain teaching."

Why?
This year I have been *blessed* (insert wink) with a highly animated class, that includes 14 boys...  and 6 girls.  It had become UGLY!

 I always thought of myself as a teacher with stellar classroom management.  Until.  This.  Year.  Was I just lucky in the past?  Or is there really something different with this bunch.

I have to say, that on an individual level, each of these kiddos are awesome.  But as a class?  NOT AWESOME.  not even a little awesome.  Unless your definition of awesome is like a train wreck or a car accident that is so intense you can't look away.  Ya, that's my class.

Realizing something had to change, I took to the internet and set my sights on whole brain teaching.  I have decided to go whole hog and jump right in.  Here we go!
