Adiós Srta Lawless :(

Today was Srta. Lawless' last day of student teaching. It was a bittersweet day, as you would expect. It's hard to say goodbye, but it's exciting as she moves into the next stage of her life. Miss Lawless has the makings of a great teacher! I'm very proud of the work she has done here at South. One of the key characteristics of a good teacher (and person in general) is being teachable. Srta. Lawless learned each day what works well in a classroom and what doesn't work so well. Then, she would make changes the next day in order to improve herself as well as the learning experience of the students. If you're not willing to analyze yourself, how will you ever improve?

Thanks for all your hard work, Srta. Lawless!

una cosa nueva

I am revamping my school website. This will be where the daily work is posted once Miss Lawless is done with her student teaching. I'm looking forward to the new set up--I do believe it will be much more user friendly. Many thanks to Mr. Cremer for this idea:)
