New attitude and a new week (a three day week!)

I really tried to put things into perspective this weekend.  My class may struggle academically, but they get along socially.  I don’t feel like at this point, I’m going to have any behavior problems.  They really are nice, polite, fun loving children.  I guess I just have to figure out what their weaknesses are and do what I can to move them up to the next level. 

It was very painful this weekend trying to grade their writing pieces, although, I didn’t teach into anything and they only had four days to come up with a published piece.  So you can’t expect fabulous work. 

It did shock me a little when I realized on Friday one of my students wasn’t able to read..."enjoy your weekend.” Maybe by next weekend she will.  I really have to stay focused and stay positive or else I really will have a miserable year.  I don’t want that for myself or my students.
