Day of whoa

Missed yesterday and went to school today. Not the easiest day, and I'm not even really sure why. Pretty rough day with some of my kids.

1. I was not the only one at my school that had a rough day. Other teachers that I talked to had pretty rough days. Rough days at school are not necessarily a good thing, but it made me feel better that I was not alone.
2. I had another student post 1.5 years of growth in reading today. Kev read a book that was at a pretty high level and he was able to answer questions and tell me about what he read. It was interesting because as he was reading he must have been splitting brain power because there were some words he could not read in the text, but in isolation was able to read them. Even with the bumps in decoding he was able to comprehend the book very well.
3. At my faculty meeting my principal bragged on me. She said that I was basically the only teacher that was following the schedule. It's funny because she came in and saw me this morning, and Tuesdays are generally off schedule days. But whatever. If she says I'm on schedule then I must be doing something right.
