Beginnings are the most fun! People get excited, everything is fresh and new, beginnings are the springtime of life.

As you begin this semester I am hoping that you will:
* Know that “inch by inch life’s a cinch - setting small goals to complete each week guarantees your success and enjoyment in your courses
* Know that “you have the power” – this is a time to choose your own research topics, to reflect on those issues that interest you, to speak up and ask questions.
* Know that this career is one of the most exciting you could choose. I trust you are looking forward to making your contribution.
* The egroups or mail through sncteacher2006@yahoo.com as set up for the classes this semester will help us communicate and share good ideas. It might help if you get a yahoo ID to facilitate access to egroups.
* Know that you are so lucky to be entering this career at a time when the Internet can make your life easy and bring you vast ways to design engaging curriculum.

You can visit www.futureteacherinsights.com to see the "paperless portfolios" from the previous semester. We hope to refine this skill this semester.

Enjoy your own effort and know that everything you do to learn more plants seeds of inspiration in your future work.
