Serendipity

I have tried several times in the last six years to get back into this blog, but I was never successful. Today I was able to find it. I wasn't even looking for it. I think this is serendipity.

Laugh Out Loud

I think I have this kid in my class. He thinks it is hilarious to add LOL to everything.

Race to Nowhere

This has a very important message. I think it is very important that children are allowed to learn at their own rate, and in their own way.

A Step Forward

I have a very bright student who is failing because he has given up. He excuses himself by saying he will try, but having said that he does not finish. He will often tell me that he has forgotten, as if that will make everything fine. Recently he was placed on a behavior contract. This is a tangible way of tracking behavior. Yesterday I saw a happy child that was finally getting work done. I told him that it was nice watching him grow up. He is making progress, even if for just one day, he is moving forward one step at a time.

A Good Motto

Failure is forgiven;

Giving up is not.
