Comments on: Trinity Tablets: Nervousness, Enthusiasm, Confidence http://trinityweblog.org/sixthteachers/2008/08/21/trinity-tablets-nervousness-enthusiasm-confidence/ A Blog Written by Sixth Grade Teachers at Trinity School Fri, 07 Nov 2008 19:09:54 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Mariam http://trinityweblog.org/sixthteachers/2008/08/21/trinity-tablets-nervousness-enthusiasm-confidence/comment-page-1/#comment-170 Mariam Sat, 27 Sep 2008 01:46:25 +0000 http://trinityweblog.org/sixthteachers/?p=62#comment-170 I remember when I first got my tablet. I felt the same anxiety that I'm sure these new sixth graders feel. But as one of the students demonstrated, we get less nervous and more excited overtime. It's how we learn. Before we get into a pool, we dip our toes in the water to test the temperature. It is always cold, so we gradually ease into the water, at our own pace. Over time, our body temperature adapts, and we feel more comfortable with our surroundings. It's the same with learning. The same with going into a new grade. The same with becoming the leaders of a school. The same with going to a new school. *Mariam* I remember when I first got my tablet.

We could learn a lot from our Sixth Graders. Forge ahead when we are anxious. Gain enthusiasm because of our efforts and willingness to risk. Develop confidence to fuel future new steps. M.
