THANK GOODNESS FOR THE WARMER WEATHER CUZ P-T CONFERENCES WERE NOT FUN
Last night, we had parent teacher conferences. They were decent enough. I have fantastic parents and a great group of kids -- I'm really very lucky.
However, I always feel, at best, mediocre when I get done with conferences. For instance, last night, I was informed that I'm apparently boring two of my students to tears. In one case, the mom announced that she teaches her kid at home -- he's just more challenged at home. What this means is that anything I do in my classroom that would actually challenge and interest the child only continues to bore the crap out of this student.
Fantastic!
Very disheartening.
The silver lining is that today is Friday, and it's 57 degrees. I'm living dangerously and wearing my cute Crocs without socks today ... and a short sleeve shirt ... WITHOUT a jacket! Yep, I'm out on the edge.
