After a really good session with one of my classes, I ran into one of my students in the hallway at lunchtime. I said hi, and she responded saying, "Miss, can we do more of that tomorrow?"
My cooperating teacher heard one of my students whisper to another as they walked out of the room after class say, "That was bad-ass."
Then on Friday, I reminded the kids I would only be here for two more weeks before I went to another school. They shouted, "No! Don't leave! We like you better."
My students have come a long way....
But you can't let it go to your head.
They're teenagers. It's in their nature. They exist in an emotional hormonal amusement park. So when Valentine's Day comes around, or prom, or teenage life in general, you shouldn't be surprised when all of the sudden all bets are off, discipline breaks down, and they just don't like you very much.
It's just Monday.
And you will make it through this.
P.S. A follow on on my 6th period student that a few weeks ago didn't want to write his script and seemed really unhappy. You can read about him here.
Final typed scripts were due today. He walked in to class with a smile on his face, told me he finished it, and gave me a fist bump. :)
