Yay!
I just had a fantastic day!
They progress monitored my kids w/ DIBELS today and they did FANTASTIC. I got a congratulatory email from the pyschologist and principal. I am sooooooo happy and thankful. I'm not really sure how much this actually shows about my student's reading level because I haven't seen a huge improvement in that area, but oh well, their phonics skills are getting better so I'm pretty darn happy! To see these improvements after just 2 months since they orginally tested them makes me happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
So you know those times where kids are bad and you know you shouldn't laugh, but ya want to really bad?! I had one of those today. . One of my boys comes into my room from the drinking fountain sobbing saying so and so punched him..so I go and talk to this chronic puncher and asked him why he hit this child (also a chronic puncher) and his response was "He was drinking all the cold water and I needed it!" I just about lost it!!!! 
That's what I love about teaching, is the cute funny stories that i would never get if i worked in an office!!!!!!!!!!! (not that I condone punching! haha)
