This week has not been a joy to come to work. It has been hard to get to work in the mornings and hard attending the meetings that are required. I somehow find such joy in the faces of my students. I know that eventhough I am cranky, irritable and moody with the "higher powers" in this district, I can find a smiling face or a student yelling my name across campus. This helps me get through the day.
I received a few new students for the second semester and they look so scared and lost in my class. I make it a point to try to reassure them and help them, but I've realized that I don't have to. Several of my students that have been with me since September have taken it upon themselves to explain and make sure the new kids are understanding. I even heard one student explain the lesson personally to the new student. Those moments.....priceless!
Middle School...the awkward years!
Beauty is found everywhere!
