For this, I am truly thankful.
How far have we come? They keep me on my toes, but we've come so far that I can honestly say that I love these kids. They provide me with so much joy, and they make my job interesting. I wish that every teacher could experience a classroom like ours - one in which I don't have to constantly harp on students to be persistent, one where I don't have to constantly bring students into the hallway for one-on-one "conversations". For example, the math (fractions) that we work on every day has become quite the challenge. It's not undoable, but it's new, and it takes many of us out of our comfort zones. None of my students have given up on their own abilities to do this work. They refuse to stop and say "I can't get it," or "It doesn't make sense." Something we have done has clicked and allowed these students to continue to push forward even when the going gets tough.
For this, I am truly thankful.
