As I have been working on mid-quarter reports for my students this weekend, I found myself smiling as I added comments to their reports. I became excited inside because I realized so many of my comments were about improvements the student had made since mid-quarter reports from the first quarter. A lot of the comments were about my students taking more ownership of their learning and about them applying themselves more. Wow. . .it feels good to say that!
Sometimes we become distracted with the every day disrupions from learning and teaching because the little things can seem so big, however, stopping to review each child's progress helps me put things into perspective. As I digest the progress of each of my students, I have to ask myself, "How am I progressing?" I would say I am improving just as my students are. . .we are taking learning step by step.
