Proud Teacher

 Making connections is important.

Can I get an "AMEN" on that?

Seriously.   It is important.  Whether it is getting to know your students, your colleagues, a new friend, etc... it's important.   It's also important in literature.

This school year, a struggle we faced in our classroom was how to recognize a connection with text as well as how to express that connection.  

As I'm preparing to write my final exams, it just HIT me.   These kids have come SO FAR since September and I am so very proud of them.
