[LIT] moments of pride

[Laurie Wasserman]

Hi!

As we head into the period of the year when the winter blues threaten, I
thought we might take a moment to remind ourselves of what's been going
well in our courses, and maybe catch some good ideas along the way. So
what are some of the moments of pride you've had during this school year
which you'd be willing to share with us?

Take care,

Bill,
I love this question! I think I'm most proud of the class I had this
fall that made me crazy; the class I dreaded every day, and now I love
them.
You had shared how much you enjoyed hearing Ron Clark speaking at NMSA
and you inspired me to use his Essential 55 Rules in my class. I typed
out the important "math class manners and expectations" that I wanted
them all to follow, had them sign it and keep a copy to refer to if they
"forgot their manners." My class changed into a community and I owe it
all to you. That pride I share with you, Bill.
