Holy Smokes



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."
