The end has come. We played base ball, ate cookies, turned in papers, and gave our final farewells before winter break. I was given portfolios from all different directions to grade, and I also received (9 days late) 2 essay 2s (which they both knew would get a 55% at best)...Hooray.
I am excited to read their portfolios though! My students were fascinated with their own writing. When I asked them about their voices, one student responded with "I sound like a creeper when I make certain moves," and from there, everyone chimed in with "Ohmygodmetoo"s and other fun stuff :) Some were thrilled with what they found out about themselves, and some were not. Overall, though, they liked knowing about their voices and knowing moves that can work for/against them.
With all of this quarter's worries and rewards, I feel like I can now take on any class! My students were great, and I don't think that I'll ever forget them, but I'm so glad that it's coming to a close and that a new chapter is beginning again soon! It's been fun, and I'm happy to have had all of these experiences. Have a great Christmas break, y'all; see you "next year"!
Best,
Elisa J.
