Highlight of My Week

Hey Everyone! I know it's been forever, but I have been super busy! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Aspen was with Jeremy over Thanksgiving, but besides that mine was great! I hung out with the fam for three days and friends the rest of the time. Aspen and I picked out a beautiful Christmas tree this week, and it was very interesting putting it up by myself, but it looks great! Well, I wanted to tell everyone about a great thing that happened to me or actually one of my students this week. Before Christmas all Middle School students had to take their Math Milestone test. Well, my students are behind in Math at least two grade levels and the Milestone test is on grade level, so they are not expected to pass this test. They take it, half of them don't even try because it is so difficult for them. Well, this week we got the scores back and one of my students passed the test! This is so awesome! So I made a banner for him and hung it up and my classroom and put streamers up so all my classes saw it when they came in. I got him a little present and just made a huge deal out of it. The coolest part of it all was his reaction. He could not stop smiling and he is usually goofying around in class and complaining about everything being too hard, but yesterday he was like " I can do this cus I passed my test!" He seriously said that like three times. I just wanted to hug him! And I told my other students that I wanted to be broke next 6 weeks when they take the next Milestone test because I had to buy them all gifts! Anyways, it was really cool for my student and it was encouragement to me too, to see progress even if it was just in one student! Well I hope you all have a good weekend! Love you!
