The month of December brings about the season of the holidays.

The holidays, and the month, cycle in a period of transitioning and celebrating for us all.

In education we are going from last school year to this school year, and chronologically, we are going from this year tot he next.

It is the time to check our accomplishments to date, as well as the goals that have been meet thus far by all of us who are active participants in the educational journey.

The Harvest Before Winter

"The Harvest Before Winter"

By: Manuel R. CortezRodas

If we think it

not as a month

but as a time,

then October should be

the time of harvest.

Harvest before winter time

is assessing summer growth,

and also summer decline.

Reviewing new instruction time,

and understanding academic requirements.

Store before winter time.

Year's end planning guide.

Spring's arrival planning guide.

School's end planning guide.

Analyze structure for weather.

Prepare before winter time.

Apply knowledge and experience.

Have practice drills regularly.

As students, as classmates.

Grow during winter hibernation.

October is about harvesting,

storing the summer's growth,

preparing for winter's arrival,

waiting for next spring,

looking toward next summer.
