Feeling Good
With all the negative news in education, we too often neglect to take of notice of daily classroom triumphs, which of course are a big deal. For example, NYC teacher Mildly Melancholy reports on a string of successful student projects that have her feeling good about her class, albeit cautiously.
There is nothing as satisfying as when your students do well. My students proved this to me this past week when I got the latest results on their most recent assessments. Most of them performed very well, which means they won't have to take a two hour block of language arts instruction next year. Of course, when I blogged about this, a few of my readers reminded me that I should also be proud of myself and the job I did this year. It's tough to be self-congratulatory, but I will say this, I am extremely proud of my students this year.
