I like school so much better when we are in the full routine of our schedule. The day always passes by more quickly and smoothly. More of the routine will be implemented this week.
Our biggest set back is the intense heat. Our rooms are so HOT. It is difficult for teachers and students alike to concentrate.
Looking at test scores and the progress of our last year's students has been bittersweet. Sandra and I worked extremely hard and looking at their scores, it does seem to have made a difference. I want so much to share that with Sandra and she isn't in a position to do so.
As I go forward with lesson plans, it brings back so many memories of us working together and I miss her terribly. I am so excited to hear of her daily progress, though. She has a long road in front of her, but it is such a joy to hear of her improvements. I would love to see Doug's smiling face again, as well as the girls having waited so long for this awakening! My prayers include a speedy recovery for her each and every day.
Back to school NIght with parents is Monday night so I have tried to prepare this week end! I hope that I will be ready! There are so many things to tell them about. Which are the most important when the time flies? The craziness begins!
