Mr. Hussey's Example

Classroom Resolutions Lesson:

1. Tell me about your winter break
1. One thing fun you did

One fun thing I did over the break was I got to have a board game night.  The boards game night was held on my birthday and me and my wife went down to a friend's house in Toronto where he hosted a bunch of us to play board games and Nintendo. While there we played a lot of cool games like Stuff Happens and the Tiny Hands Challenge, I also got to try the new Smash Brothers game for the first time. This was the fun thing I did over my break.

2. One thing your accomplished or achieved

Over the break I completed renovations on our main floor. This means we now have  a proper dining room, kitchen, and sitting area on our main floor. This is a big deal because when we moved in we knew the house needed a lot of work, in fact the sitting area and dining room we're also a kitchen and study so we have spent a lot of time redoing are main floor taking out walls and putting in new furniture.  I feel very accomplished because this has been an ongoing project for a few years now.

3. One book or series you started reading (and what it is about)

One book series that I started reading over the break was the Mortal Engine series by Philip Reeve.  I bought the first two books using some of the gift card money that the class gave me, I also bought a series of books called the track series which I hope to share with you in May and June. the Mortal Engine books are well-written and have a futuristic story about cities that are built on tank tracks and are constantly moving, destroying and eating other cities.  The stories follow a young boy named Tom who is learning that some people still live on Earth surface I want to protect it from the moving cities. Overall I have enjoyed these books and thank you will too.

4. One Simple thing that you want to be able to do or achieve this year ( 2-3 sentences that you can post in the class)

My resolution for the New Year is to sleep better in December and over the break I found myself going to sleep late and waking up early. I want to go to sleep early so that I can be have lots of energy for the next day. I think this will help with my teaching and my coaching.
