Grad school...

Got my first assignment back today.

As we were about to leave, our professors told us that they tried to comment a lot throughout our assignments, and I saw people reading post-its placed throughout their papers.

One of my professor hands me my assignment.
No post-its.
This was all it said under comments:
Alex, this journal is filled with reflection. You have made many strides in building rapport with your students and their families. I hope this process continues to be a positive one for you. I can tell that you have made every effort to understand the research involved and to apply it to your classroom. Best of luck!

...and I have no idea which professor wrote it.



Fun story from this morning:
student: "Ms. Magiera! I couldn't bring my new folder back today."
me: "Why not? I gave you a new one yesterday, and you were so excited. Remember if you bring it back everyday you can keep it!"
student: "My grandma threw it in the garbage, and then there was stuff all over it."

...So I'm guessing her parent didn't see my note asking when a good time to call home is...and I will instead be calling unannounced tomorrow...since this student has to stay in for the first five minutes of recess everyday to do her homework from the previous day.


P.S. Just had to open a diet coke at 9:30 P.M. Stupid migraine. Here's hoping I'm still asleep by 10. :)
