We are full steam ahead right now going into the direction I wanted us to go! So many of my friends are having so many "lightbulb" or "aha" moments that it's been crazy! I still have some tough friends and some have so far to go (but I will add that they have come so far already), but I feel that things are coming together and that we are headed in the right direction.
I just did some sight word reassessments and some of my friends are making me proud. Don't get me wrong...yes, I still have one or two friends who still struggle with letter recognition...they aren't all reading Einsteins!
There is nothing I love more then seeing pride in their eyes when they get something really get it. My shy one is shy, but she has been having tons of these moments lately and I'm beyond proud of her. It is hard to have her break out of that comfort of just whispering words to me and stand in front of her friends and point to words on a chart that she knows. She is becoming more and more confident in her abilities and I know she is proud of herself.
All I strive for is that each and every one of my students have self confidence and pride in their learning abilities...not too much to ask for is it? Well...choo choo off we go!
