Oh, exam week... I'm so torn about how I feel about it. On one hand, it's incredibly stressful, but on the other it's kind of awesome to have three days of open afternoons to get work done (without students!). I would probably have to say the stressful part outweighs the awesome part, though.
Thankfully, I am a fast grader, and my exam grades are all in. So now I can spend the weekend preparing for the second half of this challenging school year. Below are three good things that happened at school this week!
1. One of my students who is not doing well in my class got a 75% on the exam. I'm not sure how he pulled it off, but I'm pretty sure he didn't cheat. It gives me hope that even the students who do little in my class are actually learning something.
2. The principal put the word out to a few teachers to get together 16 students for a volunteer opportunity at one of the middle schools next Friday. As National Honor Society co-advisor, I sprang into action, and recruited NHS members to help. I'm so excited that I did it, and even happier that I can see my role in NHS is making a positive impact on the school. I really hope to continue chasing this feeling. I would love to expand the scope of NHS at my school in the future.
3. I've had a lot of time to reflect on the past and plan for the future this week. We will be diving into my favorite unit of world history next week -- Exploration. I'm so excited to teach students about it, and I'm going to spend a good chunk of my weekend planning the unit. Yay!!!
