Saludos!!

So I just got the hang of this blogging thing...as you will see I responded to pretty much everything. This is an awesome idea Mr. B! thank you :) So I would like to share a little story from a fifth grade class in room 43 at Hampton Oaks Elementary! A troubled student of mine (ESL) was having a really tough time both behavior and gradeswise. I took to him because he was Spanish and his mom tried to help but didn't know much English. I was strict with him and helped him whenever possible.Anyway, I did his report card just this weekend and noticed that he went from F's and a couple D's to C's and B's (and one D...in math, not my class). I told him how proud I was and that I hope he kept it up even after I leave. He smiled and said he would and that he would ask my cooperating teacher to send me a copy of his report card at the end of the year. He had the warmest smile and seemed so proud and excited that someone cared after I'm sure so many teachers blew him off as a problem child. This is why I heart teaching. Ok, just had to share :)
