Hello,
I got a fantastic report from Mrs. Anderson. Our class performed well. She called it a "well oiled machine." She also wrote that it should be used as "Exhibit A for evidence in support of looping." I'll take that. I was very pleased. She wrote that she talked to the class about the John F. Kennedy anniversary. I didn't ask them about it today, but will be sure to tomorrow.
My conference was a hodgepodge of ideas, mostly about the philosophy of teaching. I got a few ideas, but more than anything, it made me think about my purpose and my priorities in teaching. I definitely didn't like being out of the classroom for two whole days.
It looks like the reading of the classic comics is going along well. I will be interested to see some of our upcoming conversations surrounding the stories.
The chorus concert is tonight. They had a rehearsal this afternoon and they sounded great. My head literally almost hit the keyboard as I practically fell asleep writing that last line. It felt like I hadn't seen the kids in a long time today and I think I used up all of my energy.
We went into the computer lab for research on our explorers. Ask your child who they are focusing on.
In read aloud, the dog died. Always a rough part of a book. Luckily, Max was quite a minor character, but still, it hit home for a couple.
I'm going to get through some correcting before the concert. Thanks for reading.
Mr. Shea
