I just wanted to comment that my mom spent most of the first 15 years of her classroom teaching in small rural schoolhouses where she taught classes K-8 on a daily basis in one room. Your comment reminded me of this. Good luck, and I think your students must be very lucky to have you as a teacher! Hi.

I use index cards and include synonyms (very useful for exactly what you're talking about, margaret). And a running record is like a mini-test used to determine what book level a kid can read b/c these days kids can't just go and pick any book they want- it has to be a certain level that they "can" read on their own. :) Ali – a word wall is a portion of my wall devoted to words they need to know.

Today, one of my students ( LA Resoucr) asked me for a thesaurus! He told me that he was bored with the word 'happy' in his essay....he decided on ecstatic...which is how I feel right about now!!

It's wonderful to see that all your efforts have not been for naught. I once, also, had an extremely introverted student who, finally after many attempts on my part to get her to participate, began whispering answers to me. But, she didn't open up until February 22nd!! So, you are doing great. Allow yourself a small moment of joy so you can get some well-deserved sleep! Good job. ….hopefully, you can now dream of Gerard Butler!
