What a great day, Friday November 2, 2007 will go down as one of my best days ever. I slept great. I did not wake up till my alarm went off--that is rare. I got to school, met one of my students while I walking in the building and she offered me a donut. Of course I took one. Before school started the 7th grade counselor told me that student were coming to her asking if they could switch to me for math class. They heard from their friends, who have me for honors math but do not have other honors classes, that I was really good at explaining things and that they liked me. That made me feel really great.

The lesson I did today I had talked over with the math coach and he gave me some ideas. The lesson went so well the first hour I e-mailed the coach and told him he should come check out my lesson. He came by 4th hour and liked what he saw. He was impressed with how hard the kids were working and how one girl got the answer boom! right away because she had been working on her nines yesterday.

And to top it off when Ross and went to Chilis for dinner we got carded for our drinks. The waiter said "you guys look great". Now is that a good day or what?!?

Another point to add: Yesterday I found out I am the teacher most kids said they would trust and go to if they needed to talk to an adult at school. Cool huh?
