What's Andy Cooking?

Update

I may soon officially retire from the blogosphere. There was a while there when I was boring enough to actually have one. Now, it just seems I don't have all the time for it. Or I don't make the time for it. I think I'm constantly pouring so much creative energy into teaching that I have none left for the interweb. Plus the fact that many of the significant events are not those I can discuss publicly without violating some sort of teacher-student-parent confidentiality rule or somesuch. That's probably just an excuse, but whatever. I'm not getting fired for some dumb name I've dropped on the internet.

I'm looking forward to finishing out the year this year. And not because I just want it to be over. Instead, I'm really nervous and excited to see how my kids do on the end-of-year test they have in May. I seriously think some of them are going to dominate it. I mean seriously.

Just today, I had a study session at the library for a big test they have on Monday. Six students showed up!! For middle school, that's incredibly amazing. It's times like that when I really love doing what I'm doing. I have a very hard time holding back from giving them all big bear hugs.

I asked them today who they learn the most from. They said me. I hope it's true. If my kids do well on the End-of-Year than I think I've found my calling. I might need to make another poem for Jack . . .
