Last year, I knew that I wanted to brand certain that I had a way to ensure that I preserved the classroom memories that are easily forgotten. These are the funny things that students country or the lessons that operate extremely good or the compliments that are passed on.
I kept a drinking glass jounce on my desk concluding year, too I tried to recall to write downwards these memories on private post-it notes. I folded them up, too I told myself that I would sit down downwards at the halt of the twelvemonth too read them all. Of course, my students were extremely curious most the jar. When I told them my plan, they somehow assumed that this meant I was going to read the notes to them at the halt of the year. Much to their disappointment, I didn't. In retrospect, I think I should convey pulled out all the ones I wanted to continue private too and thus shared the balance amongst my students. Next year, that volition survive my plan.
H5N1 brace of weeks agone when I started decorating my classroom for the upcoming schoolhouse year, I saw the jounce on my desk too realized that I had never sat downwards too read the notes. As I opened too read each note, I couldn't assist but smile. Reading these reminded me only how fun educational activity is. Working amongst teenagers tin terminate survive frustrating too stressful, but they are also only funny. My students are really honest too candid which tin terminate atomic number 82 to wound feelings. But, it also way that their compliments too comments bear dandy weight. I honey my students, too I can't imagine a amend job.
After opening too reading all the notes, I knew I wanted to continue them, but I was unsure how to operate most that. While reading my favorite memories to my younger sister, she suggested that I could laminate the post-it notes to. So, I pulled out my trusty laminator, a unmarried hole-punch, too a binder ring. And, I used these to create a mass of memories.
This is the perfect size to tuck inwards my desk drawer for those days when things only don't seem to survive going right. I tin terminate describe out these memories too recall all the adept days. I desire this to operate a yearly tradition.
Knowing that I'll survive keeping these forever, adjacent twelvemonth I pledge to exercise amend handwriting. Most of these memories were jotted downwards quite hastily, too it shows. Also, I desire to do a amend labor of keeping upwards amongst my retention jounce adjacent year. Last year, I wrote a bunch at the showtime of the year, too it variety of tapered off equally the twelvemonth progressed.
My vecino coming to schoolhouse too trying to give me a couch.
