At the end of last school year I shared the Good Things of each week. Anonymized for the sake of my colleagues and students, but we get so caught up in everything bad, I personally feel it's important to celebrate the good. So that's my hope with this continued blog post series "good things". It probably wont be weekly, but just a running account of the good.
First 2 weeks.
I have a student who struggles to come to school. This isn't something the world would know, but they have let me in and for that I am appreciative. I get a fist bump at the end of every day, this makes my day more than they know.
I have a student working on a side math project- [yes that's right an EXTRA math project outside of my class] - on how to teach/apply math through a social justice lens.
So much self-advocacy it's really cool to watch the kids who already get it, who already advocate for themselves, who are already pushing back.
If I'm being honest it's been a rough couple of weeks. I'm just gonna keep looking for the good.
