I am so thankful to have a great homeroom this year. What always ends up happening with our testing is that as the school finished up at different times, we are stuck with our homerooms for extended periods of time.

Now typically, this isn’t a big deal. We can move around the class, do class work or finish up projects. But with this testing, we have to be very quiet and stay in our seats. Ugh! It makes for a boring and very slow passing morning.

We finished up just a couple of hours ago, and my homeroom made this process so relatively painless. I hear horror stories from other teachers about how their students behaved, both during and especially after the test. I’m just glad my homeroom is as well-behaved as they are.

I know part of that is due to the standards I’ve established for classroom behavior. But another large part is that those kids are just so darn good!

I’ll be sad to see this batch go…

Darren
