Yesterday we went back to Westwood Elementary to begin our second semester. I was assigned to the same class again. The children were all very excited to see me and glad that I came back. It was cool to see how they still remembered me. I got to take a few of the kids away at a time and work with them. We worked on certain letters that are tricky and difficult for these specific students. I could see that the children had grown and worked on their letters over the break. It was amazing to see the progress some of them had made since the last time I worked with them, they almost didn't need me anymore. Although they were succeeding in all their work, the students did not want me to leave and asked me to stay and work with them all day. That made me feel important in their learning environment.
