Parent Calls

We have to make 5 parent calls a week and log them. I just made mine. Two bright students screw around too much in 4B. I left one message and talked to a mother. One student has 3 tardies (in 2 weeks) to the class after lunch, leading to an unhappy mother. And 2 good student calls, one a message and the other to a happy mother.

Reflect on this? I really don't like calling before there's a real problem. Maybe this will head one off? Maybe I should just start at the top of my 1st period roster and work my way to the bottom of my 5th period roster?

I'm back!

It's been almost a year since my last post and 2 school years since I posted regularly. Now thing may change.

I'm halfway through an MA in Secondary Ed. The program is about Reflective Studies. I need to be reflecting on my teaching and classes and learning from that. Journaling is a good idea at this point. I thought, why go out and buy yet another notebook when I have this blog.

I'll keep short entries, but this seems like a good place to reflect.
