What a beautiful day. We had weather warm enough for short sleeves and the wind was just a light breeze. The colours get more vibrant each day. Life without concrete in all directions is good.
Yesterday was a great day. For 20 whole minutes my entire class (even those who have never been able to focus before) was motivated and on task! If you are not a teacher, that won't seem like an accomplishment at all. But it is. It is remarkably hard to direct and maintain the attention of a group of children for 5 hours a day. We had a sublime half hour of intensely productive learning where my boys, who usually ask, "When is gym/recess/clean up?" every 2.5 minutes, were actually smiling while they worked. Aaah, I love my job.
