Highs: getting to know my students, being called "miss", text messages from my kids, the VP sharing my bathroom pass policy with the other teachers as a great system, reading the essays my students wrote and laughing periodically when they write things like "Pop goes the embryo" and other musings, getting paid.
Lows: lack of sleep, lack of internet at school on sporadic occasions, loss of my computer's hard drive and all of my music, pictures and documents.
At least my highs is a longer list than my lows! As long as that trend continues I know I'm in a good place.
Everyone needs to check out Wyeth's blog: wyethlarson.blogspot.com. It's all about his Sweden adventure and he puts up some really pretty pictures.
I think I'll be back in Oregon for a short time in September for Garrett and Ariel's long-anticipated wedding. I can't wait!
Love you all tons!
what is your bathroom pass policy?
ReplyDeleteEach student gets two passes/quarter. They can use those passes anytime, except for the first/last ten minutes of class or if I or another student is speaking. When they have to go, they fill out one pass, take it with them as a hall pass, and then clip it to a board by the door when they return. Easy!
