Notes for Wednesday, November 3

After being away from the students for a few days, it was a joy to simply stand back and watch how well they function as a group, treating each other with respect and kindness. I think I was able to appreciate the growth more due to not being in the midst of the classroom for a few days. Just two months into school and there's such a wonderful family feel, and also a sense of work and purpose that is truly delightful for a teacher to see.
