We've had a few good news moments since the beginning of the year that I haven't yet shared. Good news moments that only teachers can understand and get excited about. Let's start with the best news of all. As of today (at 11:06 to be exact) I am DONE with beginning of the year assessments!!!!!!! WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! Yes, it's October 9th. Never-mind there's rumor of a new district assessment that would start in November. Apparently we took the slow and steady approach which translates to drag everything out as long as possible. Long enough that I had to do running records AGAIN because the ones we did the first 2 weeks of school are no longer accurate. Long enough that our servers BROKE in the middle of MAP testing, dragging it out into a third week. Not just "went down" broke, either. No, they actually broke. A piece had to be replaced which meant we were out of luck in anything network related for nearly a week.
But, back to the good news. We began our year with 2 or 3 recess duty days per week. We rotated each day so one week you'd have 2 days, the next you'd have 3. That lasted a week. And now? DUTY FREE! Heck. Yes.
Look what arrived just in time for Open House...
CHAIRS! Remember how we started the year without any? We are now a chair filled room. I have kids at my tables of 3 asking why their table has 4 chairs. Because that's how tables work, kids!
Shoot, I had one more piece of good news and now I can't remember it. I guess I got too excited about finishing assessments. Oh well.
I hope you've received some good news lately! Enjoy the rest of your week!
