Tutoring and Saturday Writing Camp

Wow! I feel like my weekend went by fast. I had to help out with the 4th grade Writing Camp. This camp is to prepare the students (who still need help) to become successful on their TAKS Writing test; Texas' state standardized test. After the Writing Camp I stayed for another hour to work in my classroom. I just couldn't resist. Normally I don't go to school on the weekends.

Tutoring Monday is over with for this week. I'm surprised how fast the day went. I dragged into work in the morning not looking forward to my long Monday. Before I knew it, it was time for the kids I tutor to go home. I am beyond joyful that the five students I tutor enjoy staying after school. They say it is fun. I try to make math tutoring as fun as possible, but I still make sure I am teaching the skills they need.

Last 13 Days Before TAKS Writing

13 days left before my 4th grade students take the Writing TAKS on March 3.  The 13 days on counts the actual school days and not the weekends.  I am very confident in their abilities.  I have been pushing these students to go up a notch.  It has been difficult but I am seeing the results.  I am very confident in them that they will succeed on March 3! Yippee!!
