Hello, friends. Tanner's prompt for today is Just Happy to Be Here.
This morning, using a multiplication chart that she filled in herself, my fourth grade student was able to successfully complete one-digit-by-two-digit multiplication problems with minimal assistance. She independently used techniques that we've been practicing together for weeks. I almost cried, I was so proud of her.
It's easy for me to get caught up in what I feel I'm doing wrong. I focus on the bad or the it-could-be-better. But today? Today I'm just happy to be here, working with this kid every day, watching her grow in knowledge and skill and confidence. There's nothing quite like it.
That's all I've got this afternoon. Stay tuned for October 16th: Slow Down.
