Day 63
Today was the 63rd day of school, I’d know, I’ve been counting. I can say that I have made it to Thanksgiving break, and I am very thankful for that. This has been the toughest thing I have ever done, and I would like to believe people when they say it is the toughest thing I will ever do.
I can honestly say that my kids are amazing. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had some issues with behavior. Some of my students know words that I didn’t even hear before high school. They are intelligent in ways that I could never be. My students have the biggest hearts and want to go to college more than anything. The challenge is many of them are already so far behind. I am committed to making a change in their life and I believe that they can accomplish anything they set their minds to. Here’s to another 117 days until the end of school, and 79 school days until my students take the FCAT, the test that determines if they move to the 4th grade.
I am thankful to see my family tomorrow and to be in the great state of Georgia. I can also say that I am thankful for all 18 of my students. I love them and wish the very best for every single one.
