Love What You Do

"People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing." Dale Carnegie

If you dread getting up and going to work in the morning, you have not found your calling yet. You should love what you do and look forward to it everyday or it is not worthwhile.

Nathaniel and I had a very successful session tonight. He has just about reached independent level for Level 6 examiner word lists and his spelling improved tremendously because he practiced his spelling words in his journal over the weekend. His comprehension is improving also, he is answering every explicit question correctly and is getting better at the implicit questions. We used the "Think Aloud" strategy quite a bit this evening and he began to understand the concept of what an implicit question is asking but he is still more concerned with delivering the "right" answer from the text instead of making inferences. If any of you have any strategy suggestions that you have seen work for this, please share!

Sheila I am so excited for you that you will finish this semester! You must be thrilled! Lucille, as always, thank you for helping me with my projects, I will call you tomorrow about coming in on Friday.

Kate
