Palm Springs at Dawn
This week had the most beautiful sunrises. John and I were like little kids at Christmas gawking and taking pictures from our back balcony. So, I thought people from home might enjoy this shot. This week at school was great! Monday and Tuesday all of my students were asking where "mom" was and seemed very concerned about her travel home and when she was going to come back and visit. I thought that was pretty funny!
Also, we received the results from the first benchmark test that our 8th grade students took. Our district person in charge of science gave us the district's results in comparison to our school and the results were amazing! Our students did better on the test than any other school in the district. He picked one question in particular to show us the results and 78% of students at my school got the question correct, while the district only had a percentage of 26% correct on it! So, I now feel a little bit better about my students and can tell that there is some learning going on eventhough I sometimes feel like I am teaching science to brick walls!

Congratulations on taking a gorgeous picture and making progress with your students.
Oh and as a science teacher you have to credit air pollution for such beautiful sunsets.
What a beautiful picture and what amazing achievement for you and your students. Keep up the good work. I was in awe of your teaching style you sure put your ole mom to shame!
Poster! Your picture would make an awesome one! And, you should be the poster child for excellence in first year teachers!
