We're already approaching the 7th week of school and I haven't blogged yet for the 2022-2023 school year!?!?
It's been a busy start, folks! I don't know about you, but I'm quickly learning that this year there is a theme - expect the unexpected! It's 5:03pm, and I'm still in my classroom. This year it has been one unexpected and completely out-of-the-blue situation after another. While I'm not really a fan of my teaching schedule this year (truth bomb) - I must say I really am enjoying the students just as much (if not more) as I always do. I've been forcing myself (for lack of a better term) to keep my eye on the POSITIVE and remember it's about THEM and not all the "stuff."
With that in mind... a smile file moment for you:
Yesterday, one of my 9th graders hit their first-ever reading fluency goal.
Y'all! This young man was SO excited, he literally jumped out of his chair and said, "You're a miracle worker! You're a miracle worker! I've never done this!"
While laughing I said, "Well buckle up buddy, because you're moving up a level and you WILL do it again."
