A rough day...

Today, a Monday, was a tough one for me. Nothing really seemed to click in the classroom. My kids seemed to be a little squirrelly today and the things I tried didn't really work. In the end, I got through the day, but don't feel like I was a very good teacher.

A friend shared a good teacher quote for a day like today. It goes like this:

"Mondays are my favorite day of the week because
I haven't %&*#@d up yet."


In the end, as I reflect back on today, I feel good that I survived and I think the kids may still have learned in the process. I know I will encounter many more days of this in the future, maybe tomorrow, but I know they will pass. I will have another day to try my hand at teaching and helping my kids learn and grow.
