I got to do some teachin'

We split each class into 2 today, as we have been doing since last Friday. This works well because everyone gets a chance to work on their papers and receive lessons.
And, as the same as yesterday, I stayed in the main classroom with the students working on spelling and ALWFC worksheets. While Amy was in the mini-classroom with students and laptops. I did offer to take the "afternoon shift" for her, but, as frustrated as she was (with students waaaaaaaaaaaay off task) she wanted to continue to work with them on laptops because, as she said, it was her baby. Amy loves those kids and loves her job - otherwise, she wouldn't continue to work through her frustrations.
My plan is to be like Amy - realize there are going to be bad days and kids who don't care. But, there are also those who have great potential and light your day.
