Yes, I know I have been very, very bad in keeping up with my blog but I have a very good excuse, well it's not an excuse but rather several very good reasons. Let me begin:
The first week in March, there was TAKS. Then at the end of April, there was TAKS. Now we are in May and I am tutoring 5th grade students to pass...you guessed it....TAKS. These students are retaking their Math test so they can move to sixth grade.
The majority of our students already have a mark against them. Many of them are not good readers and they struggle in their every day life at home and at school.
I deeply care about all the students at my school. There is no other place I would rather be teaching than where I am currently teaching.
As the school year comes to an end (June 5) I find myself thinking about what the future holds for my students. I want the best for them and if I have taught them anything, it is that life is not just tomorrow, one week, one year from now, but rather it is who they will be in 10-15-20 years from now. I don't want them to remember me but instead remember what I have taught them about life and living it to its fullest-to be truthful, caring and loving individuals.
Well until the next blog....see ya!

mom, any student who does not remember you or what you've tried to instill in them must not have ears or a heart!
