I was knee-deep in morning panic, and my son loaded and started the car.
I had a brain scramble and did not make plans for a fieldtrip; and, my students rallied, co-workers bailed me out, and didn’t strangle me.
I was consumed with fixing my blunders, and Martha came in and went straight to work without being prompted.
I started to accuse a student of cheating until she quietly said, “look,” and showed me how she was tutoring and explaining.
It was the first afternoon of spring break, and Saidee cleaned the classroom, modified the smoothie sign-up sheet, and taught me to use iMovie.
My blunder led to an extra after-school study session for a student, but she accepted my consequence graciously.
I was feeling inadequate, and my students wrote a “love” note (encouragement) and placed it on my computer.
I was embarrassed, and a friend sent me a wonderful e-mail and came to see me.
Thank you for watching my back!
