Here we are in the middle of our school year and at the beginning of a new year? What will the new year bring? What will will be left behind? It seems like my students are half benchmark 25% strategic and 25% intensive.... I will be working HARD to atleast bring 80% of my class to the benchmark status especially if I want to meet my SLT's for the year.
So we went on our annual Santa and restaurant field trip today. It was great AND I am soooo glad it is over. Things I loved about this trip: there was not a big crowd or long lines to see Santa, the visit to McDonalds was pulled off without any complications, and most importantly Its over!!! The students enjoyed themselves and it was virtually painless.
Funny story: I had a child who began to cry as soon as we got off the bus, He was scared of the Bass Pro Shop building, the reindeer statues, Santa, and even walking through the store.... Everything scared him but I was successful in getting him to see Santa... Score for Kim! |
