This is going to be a short journal, but one "episode" really caught my attention today. I told the music teacher to let me know how the students did for her because a few weeks back they were "horrible" for her, and we had to have a talk; they came up with their own consequences, etc. So today, I reminded them of the consequences that resulted for inappropriate behavior.
She came to me afterward and told me that they were wonderful, that they had improved a lot, and that because of this fact, she moved them to the center of the group for their program!!!
She was telling me this in the hall, and my teacher came out. I filled her in on some of what the music teacher had told me, and she asked, "My students?"
My students?
It was just interesting to me that she didn't even say "our students" or anything. I didn't take offense...obviously that is not what I do, but it just caught my attention.
I really enjoyed teaching this morning; AND, my students needed more time for journaling...woohoo! They WANTED (let me rephrase that) more time for journaling!
I got to see Smartboard in action today; I like those things. Do IWU students learn how to use those in Ed Tech now?
I will try to come over and see you tonight!! I need to fix my porfolio, which is taking me awhile, but I still want to come and be calmed by your presence and get some writing wisdom from you!

Olivia,
ReplyDeleteIsn't rewarding to see your hard work carry over into other settings where others take notice:). That is definitely compliments to you and how you have worked hard to instill discipline into the students.
I'm praying for you tonight!! I have complete faith in you...you have done a wonderful job and have grown so much this semester. Tomorrow is to celebrate all the wonderful things you have learned/done.
I'm proud of you:). I hope the book I had was helpful for a "fun" writing lesson to tie into Santa letters.
