Can It Get Any Better?

I wish I would have started my blog at the beginning of last year as a sort of reference. As the Ice Cube song goes, "Today was a Good Day...". I arrived to school at about 6:40, and was stuck in a room for about 1.5 hours with a group of seniors. During this time, schedules and handbooks were handed out, and we watched a video on what not to do at school. 1st period began close to 9am (normally it begins at 7:30), and I continued the days without major disaster. All of my students seems genuinely interested in learning French, and are really, really excited about it. It's really funny when kids come up to me and tell me that they know a lot of French already (usually it's hello and goodbye). So I am siting on Cloud 9--my 9th graders are interested, and my 11th graders aren't taking the class because they have to, but because they like French...My principal came in twice today, and had a general "wow" look on his face both times. It is an awesome thing to my my boss' approval. I feel I need to bookmark this post so that I can see the silver lining come February.
