Holiday Filled Short WeekFresh off of a four day weekend, I entered the classroom Tuesday morning definitely sad that the weekend was over. The students had pretty similar expressions, and they were tiredly dragging through their assignments. We managed to get back into the swing of things together though, and we worked our way through a couple of short stories then finally some fun worksheets to end the week. Another week of learning to work with students that come from completely different backgrounds, and it has been extremely rewarding. As we face this halfway point, it has been extremely exciting to see some students overjoyed about earning an "A" at this point, while others work desperately with me to raise their grade through missing assignments. It was delightful though to see them care so much about the fact that their grade wasn't up to their standards, and finally to see the joy of a student finally proud of their accomplishments. It's been a good week.
