Details Catch Up to You

How many times have you let a little detail go only to find that it catches up with you. That's the story of school life. Every detail matters, and when you let a small detail go chances are it will snowball only to find you with a much bigger matter on your hands.

Today as we shored up a lot of routines and organization, it occurred to me that there were a number of details with respect to schedules, supplies, classroom/school protocols, and expectations that had snowballed a bit leaving us more disjointed than positive. Hence, through a number of activities we revisited the details. Some of the revisiting was targeted and graceful and others a bit too rushed, but nevertheless, we organized the team, routines, and learning so we can move forward with strength. Every so often a day like this is necessary.

Tomorrow as we embrace the learning in geometry and problem solving, we'll move forward with greater community and organization, and that will be a move in the right direction.
