I am not the only one struggling to find equilibrium with this huge new class of sixth graders. After listening to a litany of concerns from my colleagues, many of which I shared, I finally resorted to simile.
"Guys!" I said to my team, "maybe it's just like Jello!"
They looked at me quizzically.
"The more there is, the longer it takes to set," I explained. "We're still wobbling, but--"
"It's gonna gel!" finished another teacher.
