2009: A Year of Environmentalism and Problem Solving

Posted by Alex Sharp Jan 4, 2009

This year, my resolutions are so realistic that they barely qualify as resolutions. They are more like good ideas.

I really am going to use fewer plastic bags at the grocery store; I have actually collected all of my cloth bags and I am leaving them in the car so it is easy to remember to use them. That, of course, is a suggestion from Go Green, Live Rich.

I already have some great things going on in my classroom; it is easy when I have great students. I am really focusing on creative problem solving when we return to school next week, because every problem has a solution. If there is one thing I want my students to walk out the door knowing, it is that they can somehow solve every problem, either themselves or with the help of others.

Happy 2009!
