Another long awaited update.
I've had the best week ever (I hope I don't jinx it since I still have one day to go). I thought I discovered the secret on Monday ... bribing my students with double chocolate chip cookies ... but Tuesday - Thursday has progressed fairly well without the cookies. Maybe my students are actually enjoying the content or perhaps they're tired of hearing me gripe about taking responsibility for their own learning. They are paying attention, finishing their work, and doing the work fairly well. Numbers are down, which means I have very few students in class, but at least they're participating. I wish the entire year had been like this week and I hope the rest of the year (27 teaching days) progress in the same manner. It's weeks like this that remind me why I became a teacher.
