One day of school left!!!! Today was a challenge because we were in the library working on Achieve 3000, and it's always difficult to keep order when moving to a different room. But I survived, and now we have only one day left.
1. I don't expect to get gifts from students as a high school teacher, so I was pleasantly surprised that my student aide got me a card and some cash (so awesome!). She wrote many nice things in my card, and it really brightened my day. I don't even need the cash, just getting the nice card was enough for me! I really appreciate having such kind and thoughtful students.
2. One of my struggling students kicked butt on his Achieve 3000 article and worksheet today. Usually he performs somewhere in the middle-back of the pack, but today he did awesome. I was so proud of him.
3. I participate in a book study with the Dean of Students, and the book we're reading is called, "Phoning Parents." Our book group met today and discussed some of the barriers to making phone calls. I really enjoyed starting my day with a productive conversation about how to better communicate with parents. I like hearing other teachers struggles and successes, which give me ideas for how to be a better teacher.
