As part of my last session with upper campus students today, I asked them questions to evaluate me as their teacher. One question I asked was "What is your favorite part of taking my class?" One of our students responded with, "You make me feel more good about myself and you make me happy so my favorite part of your class is YOU!!!" --- Not gonna lie, I'm teary eyed.  What a gift. I'm so happy to be part of this community and touch the lives of children in such a positive way.

Work: A student that has struggled with engagement got 'hooked' into thematic unit today. He completed all work and stayed in for a lunch conversation, where he pulled out a book and read a myth to me for 20 minutes.

Home: I was able to bake apple pies and share them with my family, even if I was unable to spend Thanksgiving with them this year. We also received a crib for our baby, a gift from my mom, that I was finally able to build!

Over the break I spent time with some family: brother, grandma, in-laws. I also enjoyed reducing my screen time for the week and started crocheting again.

Two students who have been working towards using their voices in class... did today! One volunteered to have his work peer reviewed by the class and he asked specific questions about how to improve his work! He then made the revisions AND followed up again asking for feedback! Woah Woah Woah! The other unmuted themselves and shared their knowledge of the horrors of the Columbian Exchange! It was amazing! I am so grateful to work with such all-stars!
