Rising From the Ashes

Monday was Monday but Tuesday can make for better weeks!

Academic Day for 7th grade athletics provides a complete morning for tutoring. It is always great to spend one-on-one time with students assisting them with grasping concepts with which they are struggling. Its even better to see them the spark when they get it!!

Tuesday also brought a big positive for Algebra, Lab Day!! Students spend time in the compute lab using interactive software that strengthens skills using real life situations. And this year it appears that my classes are really getting in to the program. Over 75% of completed the top expectation for the six weeks. Awesome!

Tuesday is 8TH GRADE GAME DAY!!! Cheerleaders were there, good fan following and our opponents came to play!! After a back and forth first half we were able to get things together and win 13-0. Even got to kick our first extra point!! It was a total opposite feeling than the night before!

And between games I got do one of my favorite things, informal tutoring. One of the cheerleaders is my student and missed a couple of days last week. She needed help with one of the concepts and we discussed it between games. It was the icing on the cake of the two win night!

Amazing what a difference a day makes.
