"Words are our most
inexhaustible source of magic."
-J.K. Rowling
My grades closed Friday. After the deadline, I read 298 reading responses on Saturday. It wasn’t easy. The thing that motivated me was knowing that that meant my students read 298 books this quarter. That is a beautiful thing.
Parents and students - check grades now. By closing my grades early, we have this week to make sure that the grade you see is the grade that has been earned. It also gives us all a chance to exhale before next quarter officially starts on October 19th. Remember to take a second to reflect on our first quarter. I’m hoping, no matter what the grade says, that my students are proud of their accomplishment. Remember, opening a new school year with online learning has NEVER been done before. Never. There was no playbook, no advice, no recommendation for us to use. We just did it and did it well. I’m very proud of each and every student. Comments are closed.
