amazing, b/c there were so many things that could have gone wrong (supervisor's visit, day one of my test preparation unit, long work day – 7 to 6, junk food) but it all magically went right...
the day retold in 143-character twits:
- today, i *finally* feel like a genuinely competent teacher. this makes me feel ah-maaaazing!
- still @ school, waiting for parent conferences to begin. chuckling while reading student essays. oh kids. so cute (sometimes...)
- just met my student Niria's mom and baby brother Jonathon, who is the cutest 6 year old w/ a mohawk EVER.
- just met Ruby's mom. when i told mom Ruby talks too much, mom drew her hand across her mouth and, with her limited english, told me "TAPE!"
- 1 of my students from the very beginning of the yr came to visit me. i heard him excitedly screaming down the hall, "LET'S VISIT MS. LEE!"
- the night school teacher just came in. good to put a face to the entity that destroys my desk formation, steals my pens, and never cleans up
- i finally got to tell Jose's mom a/b her son's predilection for gum-chomping. still, a pleasure to tell Mom her son is a delight to teach.
- well, that's a wrap. it's been fun live-tweeting my Parents' Open House. now to go home and wrap up these grad school finals...
now i'm gonna change out of my suit, fix some dinner, and hopefully write a paper!
excited for a short friday and pilates class, then a busy busy weekend of writing grad school finals.
so much love and excitement,
stef
