Yesterday we had a leadership meeting after school. Matt had us report on our celebrations surrounding test data. Basically he wanted to hear from those who had either met or exceeded their goals.
I had nothing to add.
It is depressing. We didn't reach our goal; we tried so hard!
In order to stop perseverating on the unmet goals, here are some other things to report on.
The preschool teacher gave all of us a personalized and homemade keychain. So kind!
My hardest student (the one I talk about often) had the most growth of any boy in math. He went from well below grade level to proficient at grade level and it feels like the biggest win in the world (until I start thinking about those goals again....).
Also, Emma sends me stuff like this:
me if I were a british person with an unsuccessful tea business in a rap battle against someone who refused to shop at my store and I wanted them to feel bad about it:
i'm losing pounds like i'm on a diet/i sell a cuppa but you never buy it
It's hard not to be happy when Emma is in my world.

Emma's rap is great!
Emma is awesome! Also, I learned on my mission that it's really hard to base my goals on other people's performance--it really didn't work for me. I'm learning the same thing as a mom. My success can't be tied up in other people's circumstances and choices. BUT, good job with your hardest student! You've made a huge difference for him!
