Day eleven

Actually sent a student home today...never had to do that before. But I do not want to get bogged down by negative feelings.

1. By the end of the day we were able to create subtraction facts that were related to addition facts, like 4+5=9 so 9-5=4. It made me feel good that they could do that finally.
2. Today Joshsawa actually said that he liked math and that it was easy. I think it's the first time he ever said that. He was actually smiling during math, which meant a lot to me.
3. I also found out that one of my students is now living in a different house. His home life was not the best, and it is good to see him out of that situation. I could not imagine anyone having to grow up like that.

I look forward to getting all of my parent surveys back tomorrow.
