progress report

here's what i'd say at my own parent conference:

Your child has developed tremedous self-confidence this year. She seemed hesitant to get to know the other children. Sometimes her shyness created conflicts. But, really she has blossomed into a confident, proud and creative member of this class.


Yup. I'm on track. I'm so proud, happy to be a teacher. Having a substitute in for my assistant makes me feel especially confident. Coz, wow, things are working and going *smoothly* with just ME in charge of my pleasant little charges.

Woo for getting more training this summer! (That fullfills one of my goals)
Woo for observing 6-9 Montessori and learning more about Elem II! (more goals)
Woo for learning more about peace education via communications readings and pondering further anti-racist action. (in the planning stages, but set to complete by the end of the year)

Keep trying for the author studies. I lost some steam on these when I accidently thought Ezra Jack Keats was African-American, which is why I planned to study his work during Black History Month. Ooops. Yeah. Thinking Tana Hoban photography unit for NEXT school year, though. Should probly have two more at least. Thinking of a three little pigs or anansi study for the end of the year.

Keep trying for building the children's book collection. I just spend $50 on teacher books at the teacher store, though, so I'm on the right track. I am still in the idea gathering stages here that's for sure.

Go for it! for the digital album making. I'll try my best. This will have to happen this summer!
