Ahhhh Haaaaaa!
There are so many ah ha moments that teachers get to see. But probably the best ah ha moments for me don't even happen until the year after. When I see the WASL results every year! I am proud to say that 20/25 students in my reading class passed the WASL last year. I know what you are thinking......that I had the high kids. This was not so! I had the kids that were right on the fence. The ones that just try to slide by and do the least posible to get by. I believe that these are some of the toughest kids to teach! They have all the ability but never chose to use it properly. But just when you think that they are learning nothing, they go and do something like this! Even the ones that I said didn't stand a chance passing the WASL did! I was so proud! Not of myself but of my kids. Okay okay, I was pretty proud of myself also! If you are reading this than will know that I will not be in class on Saturday due to a basketball game rescheduled because their is supposed to be snow in the gorge. Please try to have fun without me.

I'm very happy for your ah ha moment but can't believe your going to leave me hanging in class on Saturday you lucky SOB! Who knows though it's supposed to snow on Saturday in Portland, maybe I might just get Lucky. Congrats on the WASL thats awesome man.
I was nor lucky enough to have the same WASL success that you had. But I'm sure the feeling is awesome. It would be interesting to follow to see how those same students do this year. I always wanted to see how well the students who stayed at our school all five years faired on the WASL. Cheers to your success.
You must be doing a great job!
