I was conducting a Shared Reading -Summer of Sharks, very intriguing- this morning when the Instructional Specialist Aicen came in to do a reading test on one of my new students. Apparently she had been there for a bit because later this afternoon when I went to discuss the results of the reading test she told me that she had been discussing me with the intern facilitator- telling her that they should have other 4th grade teachers come in to observe me. GOO! Super Kudos, but quite intimidating! This is from another time Aicen was passing by my room. She left this post it note for me to find:

It certainly feels good to be appreciated! I know that I made the right choice leaving Houston, because this is where I need to be for the moment. I love going to work everyday- in fact some days I cannot believe that they pay me to do this. (But that's probably to make up for the days that I wonder to myself, 'What am I doing??') Everyday is a new day- especially with the Smart Alec ones!
