Strangely enough, the best part was our team meeting. We shared and talked and supported each other in order to keep stability in our classes. Everybody gave and took and shared...very different than other years. Everybody is also a "one"...I am the one white, we have one woman, one person new to the school...hell, the fourth person doesn't fit, but anyhow.
Spent time discussing different students, who needs interventions, who is acting out for attention, etc. Really acting as a team, and it makes me very optimistic.
Did a lot of presenting Guided Practice from the textbook website, something I like to do once a week. The kids show what they know to each other, and they see the answers and even learn the concepts from playing with the questions and answers. At once point I looked up to see an Asst. Principal and somebody else (could have been an inspector from the board *shrug*)...hopefully they were impressed with the use of technology and the guiding questions I was asking.
Oldest daughter woke up sick this morning. Just fed her some rice from dinner. Looks like she will make it to school tomorrow (she had been talking about going to see Casablanca downtown tomorrow night with a friend...not sure if that is still on). And I got to pick up her carpool as normal on Thursday. Routines begin again. I think our classes have finally leveled out and we can start getting down to business.
