One Good Day .... I'll Take It!

Today was a great day!  It's amazing .... I've been teaching only eight days so far and out of those eight days seven have been filled with stress and anxieity ... but today was perfect!  And today is all that matters.  Every class, (almost) every student worked hard today and participated today and learned something today.  I learned something to.  I learned that the smallest success matters.  Today my students raised their hands (most of them) to respond to questions instead of shouting out answers.  Today my quietest students spoke up and I heard them speak.  Today I was able to hear the music play instead of the rising sound of voices during work periods.  I left the school today with a smile instead of with a look of exasperation.  Yes, today was definitely a great day!  It was a day I will treasure and look back upon to inspire me through the rest of the days to come.
