Wow... that sounds great.
I have got quite a class this year. 20 students who haven't quite figured out there are others in the room. (Quite a change from last year.)My first graders are a handful, so I really have my work cut out for me.
Its amazing though... there always seems to be some children that are just good kids, no matter what. They are my salvation.
Hang in there. You sound like you're a great teacher to me. (Would love to see your film.)
Have a great weekend!
Thanks for the update, Trill.
