PROUD TEACHER MOMENT

Today was one of those proud teacher moments.  I didn't think that what I watch would make me this proud of my students.

Conferences started this week and the first night when great, hoping the next two nights go great as well.

But back to my proud teacher moment...

Today after school I went to watch some of my students play basketball (both boys and girls).

I didn't get to see much of the girls game but the parts I saw were great, they were scoring points, making nice passes, and they pulled out the win!

When watching the boys play I got to seem some things I don't really get to see the same way in the classroom.  I got to witness great team work, effort, hard work, and never giving up.  The game was close most of the way, it came down to the final minute and watching the players work so hard to rally back and make the last 30 second intense and amazing to watch made me so proud of them.  Although it may not have ended the way they wanted, my students should be proud of what they did (rally back, and put in a great effort)!

My advice for both the girls and the boys is to never put your head down, hold it up and be proud of what you do!  It may not always end the way you want but you should be proud of the effort and team work you showed!

Keep trying, keep putting in the effort and great things will happen!
