Ah, October

October has begun and I have left a somewhat painful September behind. The school year began with a bang. It was followed up with a few more bangs and then lots of intense meetings. When October rolled around, I was a little bit shell shocked and unsure if I'd make it through the year. But, we've begun to hit our stride. The kids are rocking it...great reading comprehension grades on difficult books, almost 100% homework on a regular basis, math skills everywhere you turn, happy kids and a happy teacher. Ahhhhh.
