Welcome to Forward Motion. As I become more active through social media, interacting and learning with others, I decided to join the world of blogging.
This morning while signing up for this blog site I had to establish a name, I sat for a moment and then thought of a Twitter chat with #LeadLAP earlier in the morning. A question of how your ideal classroom would look, sound, and feel was posed. My response was “forward motion, ebbing and flowing based off the needs of the students. Movement, quiet, boisterous purposeful interactions, positive, free open to be and do.” So, the idea of Forward Motion was established.
While that is what I would like to see for classrooms I also realized this is what I want to see for myself as well. I need all that I said in the tweet. One way I am finding all that I said is through blogging. While I have only blogged a handful of times blogging is allowing me to have movement, to be quiet or boisterous, giving me purposeful interactions, allowing me to see the positive, to be open, and free to be and do.
I am on a journey to better understand myself. I believe there is a reason and a purpose for everything, I just may not always see it right away. Here’s to forward motion in my life as a mother, a teacher, a wife and a believer in God.
Again, welcome to Forward Motion.
