Overall, not a bad day. I do wish it could have been a little more productive, but when you spend most of it collecting fundraiser forms and finishing quizzes, I guess you can't get too much done.

Best part of today:
Had a meeting with my principal to discuss what he saw during the observation last week. The new observation system has 10 sections of which you can be rated Ineffective, Needs Improvement, Proficient, and Exemplary. Out of the 10 sections I had zero "ineffective ratings," only one "needs improvement" rating (only because he didn't spend long enough in my classroom to see that I do in fact differentiate my instruction...) a bunch of proficient ratings, and two exemplary ratings. Professionalism was exemplary (yay to me!) and the biggest feat and the thing I was most excited about was an Exemplary rating in "Positive Learning Environment!" In the meeting he said that it was clear to him that I have established rules and procedures and that the kids really enjoy being there. I will call it a successful day!
