Today I was going over introductions, conclusions, and body paragraphs and after class I had student say, “I wish I would have this lesson last semester with my other teacher.”
I have to say that felt pretty good. She was feeling good going into her paper and that’s what’s it’s all about. It’s about knowing that the kids feel confident to go at their writing alone.
Today was one of those days that makes me know teaching is my calling. I’m glad to have answered it.

High five on that! That’s the most important part of the classroom because the students know they can go anywhere after you’ve given them the tools to succeed.
Thanks for the comments. Holy cow I’m tired.
