Aspiration #8: Talk slower.
I know this is a repeat already, but I warned you some goals might take more time. This one failed miserably yesterday. It's no excuse, but we had a two-hour delay, which pushed my sense of hurry. I'd completely thrown out my lesson plan anyway because I'd decided the students needed more time on something before moving on to the next lesson. So, I'd planned what would comfortably fit into the 50 minutes, but I was racing toward the finish line!
I was a little better today, but only when I truly concentrated on slowing down my speech.
I'll have to get the kids on board with this... I'm just trying to think of a (polite) way for them to signal when I'm going too fast...
