Ready, set, GO!!!
As the beginning of the end has come upon me, I begin to see why term four is deemed CRAZY.
Thankfully, I have been armed with a timetable that includes all of the testing that needs to be carried out over this next 9 weeks. Many of these tests I have not ever done before for various reasons so it looks a little daunting at first glance. I know that it will all be okay but it's always a little nerve wracking the first time.
After a successful three terms I am excited to enter into this last stage of the year. As I have started to look at where some of the children are sitting, I can see the progress they have made and it makes me smile. There are children who have come along in leaps and bounds and seem to have found there place in the world. There are others who still have a lot of work to do but they also have still had a great year so far.
The next few weeks will be busy assessing students and I really enjoy this part. It's a great opportunity to really chat with each person and find out from their perspective how they are doing. Some of the quietest children open up and share what they find hard or what they would like more help with. It's a chance to give some positive praise when there is no one else around and only they are important in that moment. I'm looking forward to seeing what else we can achieve in this last few weeks.
