notes

Sometimes my students leave me notes on the bottom of their assessments. 

If they're done early, I have them reflect on their learning by telling me their clicks and clunks.

Instead of having them get up, turn their privacy screens and tests in, which causes other students to rush and be done too, I have them sit at their seats and just reflect on their learning.

I got this note today on the bottom of a student's test:

Her group is reading another novel instead of the Reptile Room next (Series of Unfortunate Events) but I told her we might come back to the Reptile Room and she can always check it out from the library.

I'm glad she's enjoying reading more.  It reminds me of why my job matters.
