Monday, Monday

I just looked at the clock and realized I hadn't posted my message for today (and it's approaching my bedtime!) It's been an uneventful day, which can be a good thing. All of my LA classes took their NWEA Reading test in the lab with Ms. Woo. I was pleased, for the most part, with the scores, although those of you who rushed paid for it with lower scores. Some of you will even be "invited" to retake your test because your scores dropped significantly :c(

I don't remember who said, "Anything worth doing is worth doing well," so I extend my apologies for "borrowing" your quote. It's a great idea. If you have to do it, you might as well do it well! And I've told all of my students repeatedly that their performances on the NWEA are just one of many things that help us keep our doors open at ICS. This is just the start of being judged on your performance, of being assessed on your skills. As a teacher I face this daily, and in this competetive world we live in, you'd have a hard time finding any profession where you aren't observed and given criticism on your performance.

Sleep well and come to school tomorrow morning ready for the challenge!

Fondly,
Mrs. V~
