Much to my surprise, and an absolute bonus on a Monday morning, one of my students brought me in 4 cupcakes she had made over the weekend for me to sample. Talk about a yummy Challenge! One was quickly eaten up by my coworker and I sampled a delicious chocolate one with my afternoon coffee. I am so impressed at how hard the majority of my students are working, especially those continuing to work outside of the class setting.
Another one of my students just returned from a trip to Japan. Jet lagged and adjusting to the quickly falling snow, we sat and chatted about his trip. It was really cool to hear about his experiences, from riding The Bullet Train to eating squid and octopus sushi. I am looking forward to learning more about his adventures as he completes his Challenge on his experiences in Japan... and eating the Kit Kat bars and other goodies he brought back and shared with me!
I continued pulling students aside to work on midpoint evaluations. I think the students are really benefiting from having a candid conversation with me about their Challenges and are reassured that they are on the right track to Challenge completion. Adding my personalized comments on PowerSchool allows the parents to be updated on student progress as well!
Good things continue to happen in my ALC option and I couldn't be happier or more PROUD!
