An Open House

The drill today was to smile and wave

{as well as answer about 100 questions}

Nothing too challenging occurred during open house, but some sweet moments did:

Parents of ESE students saying that my school was recommended for their child to attend due to how we handle ESE. Apparently our good reputation is getting around town!

A proud student showing her parents her interactive notebook that was on display

Old students of mine dropping by to say hello as they venture on to high school this year

A student reflecting on how they are going to make this year better than last

Parents admiring the room and commenting on how nicely it looks

A student smiling with excitement as they discover we will be writing more poetry this year

A parent noticing that their child finally began to smile when they were in my room

I need to remember these moments throughout the year when things are not looking so sweet
