Overall, a really fun day. Here are a few anecdotes:
We had 16 students in tutoring after school! A 50% increase per day this week!
I got a work plan made up for the entire year for after school lesson planning. It's color-coordinated in rainbow order.
A class of students applauded me when after I gave a short presentation about our after school program during their homeroom-type class.
A few students kept accidentally calling my teammate Alexandr "Ms. K" or just "Miss." I might have encouraged a kid to say "Bye, Ms. K!" when they left tutoring. I also might have high-fived that kid after he did it.
There was a dead cat in a box outside the school today. At least, I think it was a cat. One student described it as "a cat and a dog mixed together and cut open." I did NOT go see for myself.
3 students sat outside and read books with us for power-reading!
A student I had never met needed help on English and Social Studies homework. I was floating around having students sign-in for after school and I told him how much I loved social studies and how much I'd love to help! When I was leaving, he said, "Miss, are you gonna come back?"
3 students that came to after school tutoring were on the football team and missed part of practice to get extra help. It was the day after progress reports went out, so it probably wasn't their choice, but still!
My friend Bridget told me that she was talking to a TFA recruiter and mentioned my name. He remembered me and said that I had written really good essays on my application! That got me all fired up for my final interview that's coming up Monday!
I got a box of random stuff from my mom! It included open bags of dried goods, 3 pairs of sunglasses, and a box of tissues.
