Schools Out for the Summer/The End of 2012-2013

WoooooooooooooooooooooHooooooooooooo! *singing* “schools out for the summer” #boom
Okay, I know it has been a minute since I have blogged and I want to apologize.  Hopefully when my life comes to a calm and I am able to establish a steady routine (repeated discipline) I will be able to blog at least every two weeks. I am projecting this to be a reality by September.  I have so many new ideas and concepts to share with you all.  I did look at my stats and views and must say I am impressed.  Thanks for sharing my blog with others and coming back to view.  You are appreciated! Again if there is any material on my blog that you need please feel free to email me, I am here to help. 


As you all know this past school year I was moved from my special education classroom to a regular education classroom.  I am pleased to report that it was a success and a wonderful experience.  I witnessed a major transformation in my students in both academics and behavior; despite the trials and tribulations we experience as educators, situations like this make it all worth it.  Knowing you made a positive impact and influence on a young mind is priceless.  I salute all my fellow educators! Remember, my fellow educators that our real boss=students.  I hope the implementation of Compass and Common Core did not discourage you or make you feel worthless or unappreciated; if it did I send you hugs and advise you to look at your students and their achievements.  My students did great or their state test.  I had students who had a history of USAT, receive Basic, students who would only get Mastery in ELA & Math, receive it in Science as well or Social Studies, and even go from a Basic in Science to an Advance.  Also, watching previous Mastery students get an Advance was tear jerking. Needless to say my students did better than their predecessors despite being an entire nine weeks behind and encountering a series of transitions. *Pops Collar* J   I only had one UNSAT in Math!!!!!  My tigers rocked that test and showed out in the content of fractions! I myself also grew and learned so much from this experience.  UNPLEASANT CIRCUMSTANCE PORTENDS GREAT GOOD.  I never thought I would say this, but I am so grateful to have taught such wonderful, dynamic students.  I sacrificed a lot of myself and had many long nights, but it was worth it.  This was indeed a year to remember!!!! One more thing before I go-> I was awarded for all my hard work.  I do not care what anyone says, it does feel good to be valued.
