Topic Dump

I had a couple of paragraphs written, but I deleted them because I felt that I was getting too preachy (again). Since then, I've more than passed the fifteen minute limit that I give myself to come up with a topic for the blog. As per an agreement I made with myself, that means I need to simply list some of the topics that I've been thinking about and call it a day. Here they are:

• Breaking the preconceptions of my students (this was what my two paragraphs were about).
• Having Connor in my classroom.
• Having Connor tell me that he already knew some of what I taught them today due to TikTok.
• Trump's indictments and that--one way or another--social studies teachers 20 years from now will be teaching about these events
• How pleasant the weather seems to be getting.
• Concerns about what would happen if a forest fire came to our neighborhood or town (again, I suppose)
• How excited I am about the upcoming Star Wars show: Ahsoka 
• The number of hours I have put in this week for school and yet still feel behind.
• The lingering cough

There's more that I either cannot talk about or that I've forgotten, but those have been some of the ideas that popped in my head since I sat down to write.
