Do your best today!

Being a teacher is so much more than just the time spent with students. There’s planning and grading and meetings! Working collaboratively with teachers in the school and in other schools, reading, researching and finding the best ways to work in the classroom. I could go on and on. With all of these responsibilities, it’s so easy for me to pick out my favorite part of teaching…the very best part of the day…it’s the time spent with my students!

Today is the first day when I can’t be there with you (my morning classes). I am spending the morning at Stone Hill Middle School with their sixth grade teachers. Stone Hill is a terrific school with amazing teachers, so I am excited to spend some time there, but I’ll miss you (my students) this morning! What choices will you make in class today while I’m away? Miss Banks is very excited to teach English this morning. Please show her what amazing students you are. I’ll be back in school this afternoon, so I may see you. If not, I’ll see you tomorrow. Have a great day!

 

P.S. I know the picture doesn’t really have anything to do with today’s post, but I couldn’t resist!
