You know what, so far I’m feeling really successful this school year.

Yes, I’m already behind on my grading.

Yes, I can already see some trouble spots brewing.

Yes, the number of meetings makes me understand the phrase ‘going postal’ on a deep and intimate level.

Yes, I am deeply concerned at the lack of ability to interpret the summaries of scientific findings (I have alerted the science teachers that the incoming batch of freshmen is NOT GOOD at the concept of scientific method, controls, or variables).

But.

A girl I struggled with all last year asks me for new books of poetry. She’s read all of Clint Smith’s Counting Descent, and is devouring Adrienne Rich’s Diving into the Wreck.

A student came up to me in the hall and said he wished he was in my class again, because he heard we were doing so much. (love a kid who loves to work)

All of my periods are rocking their seminars - not every moment of every one, but they are bonding as a group, they are sharing their opinions, and letting them talk about the parts of school they struggle with most (homework, presentations, etc) is helping me build great rapport with them. And they’re preparing, and the level of prep some of them are bringing is truly out of this world.

The routine I’ve developed for the start of every period is becoming a habit, and the kids are actually starting their freewrites early.
