A moment of pride

I just have to take a quick moment to say that I am so proud of my class this year. They are doing an awesome job! I just finished testing for my report cards and all I can say is, wow! I am so impressed with my group. 12 of my 17 kids are on or above grade level in reading right now! I cannot even express to you what a huge change this is from the last time I taught first grade. They have been working hard and it shows. I guess in being proud of them, I may be taking a bit of that pride for myself. I am just working on celebrating the little victories with my students and this seems like a big one! YEAH!!

Okay, my moment of pride should be over now. Back to reality. :)
