I learned...that I really can manage a classroom and do it well!

Something great that happened was...really feeling like I was in control today and really feeling like I can do this, plan, teach, manage, breathe, all at once.

Something challenging that happened was...being totally alone during writing workshop and having to support 3 kids so intensively, which kinda resulted in my ignoring the other kiddos.

A question I have is...seriously, how do you teach writing to 19 kids, alone, with no aid, when 2 have behavioral needs, 1 has an LD, and 2 are ELLs? Oy!

I wonder about...if this counts as my takeover week...
