Until Hawaii. I was a good teacher this week. Been marking like mad. Thrilled to say I can see the kids are making progress. Reading comps are up. Essays look like essays. Hurrah! I don't remember ever writing as intensely or as often as these kids do. Little and often has to be the way in the long run.
Had parent meeting after school. Went well. I had been scared of the mother because she sounds quite abrasive and aggressive over email, but she was an excellent parent today. Very supportive and forward looking. The highlighted rubrics are great because they show exactly what the marks are based on and this corresponds to a percent mark.
Now on the bus to the walk in clinic to have the cyst on my back checked again. Three days of antibiotics haven't touched it. Wrong spectrum perhaps? Don't want a horrid scar there for Hawaii! Nor do I want the red hulk. Wonder how long the wait list is going to be.
Going one date tonight with DH. Trying to decide in a film. Lots if good ones on at the moment. Not allowed to see the Iron Lady because the nanny wants to see it with me.
Fun to blog again....
