1. The party happened, and the day wasn't too insane. Had two parents show up and help a great deal. Even brought a couple of younger siblings, one in diapers.
2. I had my kids make snowmen, should have taken pictures, but did not. They gave them multiple necklaces around the body, as well as gold teeth. The biggest bit of ingenuity was when they decided to put handles on the back, so they could hold their snowmen up. No idea who started it.
3. My kids, at least 19 of them did well on the math test today. Not exactly where I wanted them to be, but they were a full 10% better than the last one, so we were at about 77-78%. Two even aced the test. They are starting to get it.
4. Crowning moment of the day was when I got Alexander to write, not just one, but four complete sentences, all staying on topic. So proud I had to take a picture. I finally got some language out of him, even if it was describing a picture, but for him it is amazing.
Moments like this, with students like this, is why I teach.
