I think it was a really great idea to switch up the class and have a video. The students were not expecting it and it was a nice change of pace. The worksheet to help them follow along allowed them to take control of their learning and provided them with a reference sheet for their homework. Then, the homework allowed them to apply the concepts. Overall, it felt like a great lesson and it made me smile.
You know what else makes me smile? My mom's zucchini bread. I needed to use up the last of the zucchini I had in my fridge and so I decided to make this awesome treat. I adapted her recipe a tad to be a little healthier and then I threw in some chocolate chips and dried blueberries. I ended up with a fantastic, moist loaf of bread. I came home from school today with a smile on my face and then I shoved a slice of that bread in my mouth. It's been a good day!
