Note

Today, I received my first note from a student.  It was left on my desk after school. I got it when I returned from taking my students to the buses.  Nothing sweet. It was just a question. So I typed something up and left it for her on her desk. I thought it was a nice gesture. It did feel good to get it though.
Things are calming down a bit as we're getting into the swing of things. The next problem is that our lunch time is going to change tomorrow so we'll have to shuffle our schedule around. But hey, flexibility is the key. I need to start thinking about what to do in a literacy group. What books? What types of things to do? All the standard questions without having all the answers I need right now. I do know I need to take some initiative and get rolling.

There are always two choices, two paths to take. One is easy. That’s its only reward.
