Day WOW Tuesday

geez!! Tuesdays...not exactly fun times, but we got through a bit.

1. The average growth for a couple more students was a year. They are slowly bringing my class average of growth up to about 1 whole grade level for everyone.
2. Kind of a backhanded one, but I started the day with five kids, though the number out changed every two hours for the first four hours of the day.
3. One of my troubled students is finally seeing a counselor. She is seeing the same counselor that my little girl saw last year. Whenthis girl came from the appointment, just was really closed off and not entirely herself. Unfortunately I never got the chance to follow up with her.
4. My kids seem to be getting money, which is a very good thing. I'm not sure why addition and subtraction was so difficult for my kids.

Today was a day for sure. Xander got sick and left early. Probably would have been better if he didn't show up today. He got to my door dragging tail. I'm easily able to pick out if he is feeling well or not and today was one of those days. We are thinking that a trigger may be chocolate milk, at least that's what his mom thinks. He got back to my room after lunch and was able to tell me a sentence (small proud moment), but it was a warning sentence, that there was impending doom-doom. And boy was there ever. Math was made very difficult, as my students had to wait outside so the room could air out.

I hope all of my students are feeling better tomorrow. I'd like to get all of my kids together before I take off for a conference next week.
