First period one of the boys has been coming back (he's missed school, been suspended, or just ditched my class for all but about 10 days this year). How do I know that there is progress? He gave me one of his Starbursts today.
2nd period I have a few more students, thanks to schedule changes. One switched periods, one was in another, then switched out for a month before coming back
I left one student alone during 3rd period. He's been having a hard time lately, I think with life in general, so I let him have his space today, only stopping by to say hi and ask how he was doing.
A group of girls (3 have been with me all year and became friends in my class) asked if they could come to my room during lunch to have a little birthday celebration for their friends today. She had a rough time the day before and they wanted to do something nice for her. I loved that they felt it was a place they wanted to be.
Student (male): Are we going to put glitter on this?
Me: Heh heh.
Student: ....
Me: Oh, do you think we should?
Student: Yeah.
Me: Um, uh, what color?
Student: Purple.
Later I asked the students which workshop I should go to at TETA Theatre Fest. Fight Choreography and Model Building got the most votes. When I said there was a Shakespeare class, I said I told the principal when I interviewed that I'd never do Shakespeare here. Then the same student said, "Uh...we could do something with it for Valentine's Day." Luckily I was sitting down so I didn't hit the floor.
