Praise
- Teacher Character-Costume Day offered a shot of fun and energy into a long four-day week. It's exciting to see teachers come together and show kids that we can have fun, too!
- Having the literacy specialist, principal, and other coach want to include me in Monday's visit added a sense of value and appreciation to my week.
Problems
- I hope that my question-and-answer sessions in the upcoming week are informative enough for teachers and provides them more direction.
