Sorry for the lack of blogging this week... it was a long and busy one including lots of homework for math class. The big project for this class is to plan, teach, and video tape a math lesson and then write an accompanying paper critiquing ourselves and tying in all the things we've learned. So I taught/taped on Thursday. The lesson went pretty well... I haven't watched it yet to start writing the paper, but I think the kids enjoyed it.
I had to share the absolute highlight of my week though. On Friday afternoons we have "community time" in our classroom. Part of this time we call "conflicts and compliments" where we pass a globe and the kids are allowed to say anything they want: how they feel about their week, something good, something bad, etc. So this Friday one of our students got the globe... thought for a little while... and then said, "I want to thank Ms. Frostman because she always explains things so we can understand them."
That, in a sentence, is why I am working my tail off right now! And I cannot tell you how amazing it made me feel.

Polls, you SHOULD feel good about this because kids speak the truth, and they speak from the heart. What a nice way to end the week!
Ah, I bet that made it all worth it!
And, your dad is right, kids speak the truth!
Glad your week ended on such a great note!
Miss you!
How sweet is that?! And the picture you posted (top post) is just gorgeous :o)
