Awards
We had our awards assembly on the afternoon of the terminal twenty-four hr menses of school. Considering the fact that nosotros own got an attendance employment at our school, this was likely non the best idea. Many of our students only chose non to demo upwards for schoolhouse on the terminal twenty-four hr menses of school. Others chose to skip out correct before the assembly began.
For Algebra 1, I gave 2 awards. I gave 1 honour to the pupil amongst the highest Algebra 1 average. This pupil was rattling deserving. But, it was also her minute fourth dimension to accept Algebra 1. Last year, she did non move past times the cease of teaching examination at the cease of the year. So, she was required to retake Algebra 1 concurrently amongst Geometry.
I also wanted to vantage a high-achieving pupil who was taking Algebra 1 for the rattling kickoff time. The pupil amongst the highest average inwards this category was also rattling deserving. She worked extremely difficult all year. In the past, she had non done good inwards math. She doesn't similar school, in addition to she is rattling song about it. But, this year, she made an exception for Algebra I. She kept the perfect notebook. She did every unmarried homework assignment. She asked questions when she didn't empathize things.
She challenged me every bit a instructor this year, in addition to I'm thankful for that. Every fourth dimension I tried to play review games amongst her class, it would neglect miserably. You would intend I would learn, but I didn't. And, every time this pupil would acquire frustrated amongst the review game, she would announce, "Ms. Hagan, I don't intend I'm learning a unmarried thing." As painful every bit that is to hear sometimes, it's something I demand to hear every bit a teacher. I want I had a bunch to a greater extent than students who were willing to verbalise upwards when my presentation approach does non come across their needs.
Next year, I desire to give my students to a greater extent than opportunities to vocalize whether or non something is helping them to learn. Because, that's what it's all about. It doesn't affair how fun an activeness is if it isn't helping my students to learn.
Anyway, dorsum to the awards assembly. I walked upwards to the podium to denote who volition endure receiving my top pupil awards. I gave the honour to the top Math Analysis pupil in addition to the honour to the top Algebra 2 student. I announced my kickoff Algebra 1 winner, in addition to no 1 rises from their seat. I denote my minute Algebra 1 winner, in addition to no 1 rises from their seat. I detect this difficult to believe because I had asked this pupil if she would endure at that topographic point only hours earlier. I had done everything but order her that she was going to endure receiving 1 of my awards.
After the assembly is over, I await upwards in addition to am surprised to consider my missing pupil approaching me. She has a enquiry to inquire me. "Can I yet own got my award? I was besides scared to acquire upwards at that topographic point in addition to acquire it." I'm non certain if this pupil has always won an honour before. I proudly presented her amongst her medal, in addition to I shook her hand. It breaks my middle to intend nigh what must own got been going through her hear every bit she sat at that topographic point inwards the auditorium.
Next year, I desire to create a meliorate job. I desire to create a meliorate undertaking of recognizing students. I shouldn't hold off until the terminal twenty-four hr menses of the schoolhouse yr to congratulate them on a undertaking good done. I'm non certain what this volition await similar yet, but I'm thinking about it.
In the hateful time, I'd honey to hear nigh how you lot recognize students inwards your ain classroom!
