Yeah...that time of year...when I put off any Christmas party in my classroom and am reminded of it by the other teachers. One of the times of year when the schedule just gets changed around a bit.
1. Kevonta brought bottle rockets to school in his backpack this morning. Not the greatest thing, but certainly a strange way to start the morning.
2. My students were able to sit a separated arrangement all day today while they took three different tests (district reading test, spelling test, and a math pretest)
3. According the the scale given to me by my school, all of my kids scored advanced on the district reading test from today.
4. Day'Quan only got three words wrong on his spelling test. For him that is amazing improvement in just about a month.
5. I spoke with Alexander's mom when she picked him up about his writing. She recognized that he has a lot of difficulty with writing thoughts, which kind of put me in my place and made me take a step back from everything.
6. I went kind of new-old school in sending a note home today. I used packing tape to attach a note to a child's back. Hopefully his mom will see it when he gets home.
Next week will have a return of class meetings, differentiation of math instruction to get ready for the district test, communication with parents to try to pull off a Christmas party for my kids. I'll also bite my tongue when it comes to them as well. I'm a teacher, not an inquisitor.
