I LOVE student surveys - the kids are so candid. (It makes me wonder what I wrote/would have written when I was in fourth grade...)
The day itself, I felt, was better than yesterday. And Math was especially productive. We even had a little extra time to learn the "banana dance," a personal brain break favorite.
I even got to see my students from last year - albeit briefly - during lunch duty. (I was outside with my students while they were inside and vice verse.) A few came over and hugged me, and most at least said hi or waved frantically. I miss them a lot - they are a very special group of young people.
A very productive day, indeed. So, I'll be off in just a little bit to treat myself to some trivia with friends at a local establishment right up the street. Cheers!
"I have no idea where I am going; I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself...But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always..." -Thomas Merton
I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...
