Week Ten

End of the first marking period!

This year is flying by.  I have had several students sturggle this first ten weeks.  Call it a combination of laziness, senioritis, futuritis, or anything else that comes to mind!  It will work out.  Now that we have grades in the books, my students ALWAYS come around.  They have too much to look forward to.....in JUNE!  I think everyone in education needs to remember that there are lessons to be learned in not succeeding (failing).  Students, just like the adults that like to judge them, need to learn from their mistakes in order to avoid future repeats. 

I look forward to starting the next marking period on Monday.  As we slowly work toward that graduation day in June, my challenge remains the same.......find ways to encourage my students to tap into their curiosity and passion...so they can continue to learn!
