Progress!

I'm happy to say I'm finally finished with my report cards! Woo hoo!!!

(I'm doing a little celebration dance...)


I've been spending most of my time the past couple of weeks knee-deep in papers, preparing for upcoming conferences. It's amazing to me that our district believes that giving us 4 hours some afternoon for "prep time" will truly prepare us for this event! (Oh well, that's how it goes.) Although it's a stressful part of my job, I enjoy taking the time to reflect on the progress the kids have made thus far. It's amazing how far they can come in a few short months.


Next week brings some long days and nights, but I'm really looking forward to meeting with their parents. Sometimes 20 minutes with a students parents can create some huge "aha" moments. The apple doesn't usually fall too far from the tree!
